Pectobacteriumspp. are causative agents of blackleg and soft rot of potato. However, little is known about the relationship between the pathogenicity of mixed infections of differentPectobacteriumspp. at different temperatures. In this study, two pectinolytic strains ofPectobacteriumspp. were isolated from the same potato plant with typical symptoms of blackleg and identified asP. brasilienseandP. carotovorumby multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), whole-genome phylogenetic tree construction, average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH). Plant cell wall degrading enzyme, including pectinases, cellulases and proteases, as the most important virulence factors, as well as pathogenicity toward potato tuber, were compared between the strainsP. brasilienseBL-2 andP. carotovorumBL-4 at 28 ℃. The results showed thatP. carotovorumhad higher cell wall-degrading enzyme activities and brought more severe disease symptoms to potato tubers thanP. brasiliense. Moreover, the pathogenicity ofP. carotovorumandP. brasilienseincreased with increasing temperature (20, 25, 28, 32 ℃). The pathogenicity was more severe whenP. carotovorumstrain BL-4 was co-inoculated withP. brasiliensestrain BL-2, especially when the former exhibited an advantage in bacterial number at the initial time. The results of this study provide new insight for understanding the pathogenicity caused by mixed infections with different species ofPectobacteriumspp., and they may provide some guidance for controlling potato blackleg and soft rot.
