Temperature effects on growth of the biocontrol agent Pantoea agglomerans (An oval isolate from Iraqi soils)
Keywords:
Biocontrol agent, Pantoea agglomerans, Iraqi soilsAbstract
The growth response of the biocontrol agent Pantoea agglomerans to changes in temperature was determined in vitro in nutrient yeast extract-sucrose medium. The minimum temperature at which P. agglomerans was able to grow was 4°C and the maximum temperature was 42°C. This study defines the range of environmental condition (Temperature) over which the bacteria may be developed for biocontrol of postharvest diseases.
