Abstrakt: A sensitive and specific assay was developed to detect and biological control of bacterial leaf spot of pumpkin, Xanthomonas cucurbitae was identified on the basis of the morphological, biochemical and molecular assay. The antibiotic sensitivity of the isolate showed that, Carbenicillin revealed highest antibacterial activity with 29 ± 0.00 mm zone of inhibition against isolated bacterial strain. Isolated bacterial strains from soil were also identified by biochemical and molecular characterisation. By analysing morphological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rDNA of three bacterial strains isolated from soil was matched 96% with Bacillus subtilis, 98% with Bacillus brevis and 97% with Pseudomonas fluorescens strain. They were subjected to the antagonistic activity against Xanthomonas cucurbitae by disc diffusion method. Among them, B. subtilis showed significant positive antagonistic activity with 17.0 ± 0.28 mm zone of inhibition against Xanthomonas cucurbitae. The presence of DNA sequence related to the hrpD gene successfully amplified in some isolates of Xanthomonas cucurbitae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
