Bacteria Pseudomonas sp. and Pantoea sp. Are the New Etiological Agents of Diseases on Forest Trees.

ABSTRACT: Forest trees significantly affect human life. The spread of pathogens, including bacterial ones, poses a serious threat to their health. Despite this, however, the species composition and distribution of pathogenic bacteria, as well as the etiology of common diseases affecting forest trees, remain virtually unstudied. In this study, we, for the first time, describe different species of Pseudomonas and Pantoea as new etiological agents associated with the symptoms of leaf spotting and wood darkening on Acer tataricum L., Fraxinus pennsylvanica L., Ulmus minor Mill. Ulmus laevis Pallas. and Populus tremula L. For the identification of bacteria species, we used an integrated approach based on the characterization of their morphology, biochemist
