Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Members of the genus Aerobacter are part of the epiphytic microflora of sugarcane plants.
- Observation Paracolobactrum aerogenoides was isolated frequently from young sugarcane plants between February and May; no completed most-probable-number tests were obtained.
- Observation Nine different IMViC types of coliforms were identified among 198 isolates from sugarcane.
- Observation The coliform type predominating in leaf-sheath water of sugarcane was A. aerogenes.
- Observation Escherichia coli was associated with sugarcane plants only once, at the high dilutions used for most-probable-number counts.
- Observation Coliform numbers in sugarcane juice were generally divided equally among A. aerogenes, A. cloacae and E. coli.
- Observation More coliform IMViC variety occurred on sugarcane plants than in leaf-sheath water or cane juice, although this seemed so.
Klebsiella aerogenes
