Description Accepted date: 16 September 2013
The bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is an ever-increasing threat to tropical as well
as temperate regions of the world. Though the disease
has been reported from different parts of India,
appropriate identification of the pathogen at molecular level is still incomplete. In this study we report the
isolation and molecular characterization of a R. solana-
cearum strain F1C1 from wilted chilli plant collected
from a field near Tezpur University, Assam, India,
using techniques such as multiplex PCR, 16SrDNA
sequencing, multilocus typing, pathogenicity test,
twitching motility and natural transformation. Our
results suggest that F1C1 is a phylotype-I strain of R.
solanacearum species complex. Additionally, we also
report presence of other bacterial species in the ooze
collected from wilted plants.
