SUMMARY In the present report we give the results of our studies of the morphological, cultural, and biochemical properties of 49 strains of Erwinia amylovora. On the basis of our results, we propose a new description of this species. The following tests are most suitable for the differentiation of E. amylo-vora from other species of the genus Erwinia: pectinase, lactose, and the reduction of nitrates. We recommend that the strain BS 1114 (NCPPB 683) be considered a neotype.
