The optimum culture conditions for the ice nucleating activity and the cell growth of Xanthomonas translucens KCTC 2751 were investigated. The optimum initial pH and temperature for the cell growth and the ice nucleating activity were 6.5 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimum culture medium for the ice nucleating activity was composed of 1.0% maltose, 1.4% yeast extract, 0.8% digested of gelatin, and 0.03% KCI in distilled water. Freezing operations carried out on distilled water showed that the degrees of supercooling were $-7.90^{\circ}C$ without ice nucleators, $-1.56^{\circ}C$ with silver iodide as a commercial ice nucleator, and $-1.36^{\circ}C$ when Xanthomonas translucens KCTC 2751 were added. During progressive freeze-concentration assays, the addition of Xanthomonas translucens KCTC 2751 led to lower saccharose concentrations in the crystals, while the cells led to higher saccharose concetrations in the concentrated phase.

Bacterial wilt is a vascular wilt disease caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. poae that infects Poa annua, a grass that is commonly found on golf course greens throughout the world. Bacterial wilt causes symptoms of etiolation, wilting, and foliar necrosis. The damage is most prevalent during the summer and the pathogen can kill turf under conditions optimal for disease development. Fifteen isolates of X. translucens pv. poae were collected from northern regions in the United States and tested for virulence against P. annua. All 15 isolates were pathogenic on P. annua, but demonstrated variable levels of virulence when inoculated onto P. annua under greenhouse conditions. The isolates were divided into two virulence groups. The first group containing four isolates generally resulted in less than 40% mortality following inoculation. The second group, containing the other eleven isolates, produced between 90 and 100% mortality following inoculation. These results suggest that differences in the virulence of bacterial populations present on a golf course may result in more or less severe amounts of observed disease.

맥류세균성 줄무늬병균의 선택배양기(KM-1)를 개발하여 이병식물체 및 토양으로부터 Xanthomonas campestris pv. translucens를 선택적으로 분리할 수 있는 효율성을 검토하였다. KM-1배양기의 구성성분은 증류수 1 L당 lactose 10 g, D(+)trehalose 4.0 g, thiobarbituric acid 0.2 g, K\ulcornerHPO\ulcorner 및 KH\ulcornerPO\ulcorner 각각 0.8 g, yeast extract 30 mg, NH\ulcornerCl 1 g, cycloheximide 100 mg, tobramycin 8.0 mg, ampicillin 1.0 mg 및 Bacto agar 15 g이며 1 N NaOH로 pH 6.6으로 조절하였다. X. c. t.의 균주별 KM-1의 배양효율은 비선택성 농후배지인 Wilbrinks agar에 비하여 1.30정도였으며, 기타 토양전염성식물병원세균 Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Agrobacterium rhizogenes, Erwinia carotovora var. atroseptica, Erwinia carotovora var. carotovora, Corynebacterium insidiosum, 및 기타 토양생존 부생세균 Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudomonas putida 등의 생장을 완벽하게 억제하였다. KM-1의 저장기간(shelf-life)도 5$^{\circ}C$에서 2개월 동안 선택성을 유지하였다. 따라서 본 병원균의 전염원의 생존 등 발생생태연구에 활용될 수 있는 가치가 충분히 인정되었다.
