A simple bacteriological technique involving inhibition zone production on a lawn ofEscherichia coliwas developed to detect antimetabolite toxin production by phytopathogenic species ofPseudomonas.It was established that the mechanism ofE. coliinhibition paralleled that of phytotoxin-induced chlorosis of plant tissue. Derivatives ofPseudomonas tabaciandPseudomonas phaseolicolawhich did not produce antimetabolite were readily identified by use of this technique. The presence of plasmid DNA inP. tabacistrains was demonstrated, but no physical evidence for plasmid involvement in tabtoxin production was found. The role of antimetabolite production in the pathogenicity ofP. phaseolicolawas also investigated. The method was extended to show that strains ofP. maculicola, P. syringae, andP. coronofaciensalso produce antimetabolites.
