Background: Bacterial ring rot of potato (Solanum tuberosum) caused by the gram-positive coryneform bacterium Clavibacter sepedonicus is an important quarantine disease threatening the potato industry around the globe. Since its original description in 1906 in Germany, management of ring rot has been a major problem due to the seedborne nature (via seed tubers not true seeds) of the pathogen allowing the bacterium to be transmitted long distances via infected tubers.
Disease Symptoms: On growing potato plants: interveinal chlorosis on leaflets leading to necrotic areas and systemic wilt.

is a Gram-stain-positive bacterium with eight subspecies, five of which have been redefined as different species on the basis of their genome sequence data. On the basis of the results of phylogenetic analysis of gene sequences, strains of members of the genus isolated from barley have been grouped in a separate clade from other species and subspecies of the genus . In this study, the biochemical, physiological, fatty acids and genetic characteristics of strains DM1 and DM3, which represented the barley isolates, were examined.
