e0“The presence of internal contamination in banana shoot tip cultures has been demonstrated by indexing explants on bacteriological medium”
e3“The selection of an alternative culture medium, Middlebrook 7H10, which meets the nutritional requirements of these mycobacteria made it possible to detect and grow these contaminants more rapidly”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Internal bacterial contamination was demonstrated in banana shoot tip cultures.
- Observation Thirty-eight bacterial strains were isolated from 851 banana accessions.
- Observation Bacillus sp. made up 65% of the isolates from banana in vitro cultures.
- Observation Mycobacterium sp. made up 30% of the isolates from banana in vitro cultures.
- Intervention effect Rifampicin added in liquid culture was suitable for controlling Bacillus sp. and Mycobacterium sp. in banana shoot tips without phytotoxic effects.
- Intervention effect Culturing 1 mm meristems from contaminated plants eliminated bacteria from banana cultures.
