BACTERIA
Blood Wilt Bacterium [Blood bacterial wilt]
[There is no valid published name for the bacterium
causing blood bacterial wilt. "Pseudomonas celebensis" (Gäumann,
1923) and Xanthomonas campestris pv. celebensis
(Bradbury, 1986) are not valid names. The pathogen was excluded from the
Approved Lists (1980) because the original description was incomplete and
none of the original isolates collected by Gäumann exist today. Later
comparison of fresh isolates with Ralstonia solanacearum show that the two
pathogens are related, but clearly distinct from each other]
