- Abstract
The article discusses the presence of Pantoea citrea, causal agent of pink disease, in pineapple fields in Mexico. Results of pathogenicity tests in vitro, pigment production and slice pigmentation suggest that Pantoea citrea is the causal agent of pink disease. In June 2003, pineapple fruits cv. Smooth Cayenne that grow in fields of the Cuenca del Papaloapan region of Mexico were sampled. Nine bacterial creamy isolates reveal a pale yellow color were recovered from the interior of visually intact fruits on LB agar plates. Pathogenicity of P. citrea was demonstrated in a hypersensitivity test.
