Abstract

Eleven Pectobacterium strains were isolated from soft rot-diseased vegetables. Here, we report their genome sequences and characteristics. Five isolates were found to be Pectobacterium versatile, while the other six were determined to be Pectobacterium brasiliense.

Examples of soft rot caused by the sequenced Pectobacterium isolates on various vegetables. Potatoes (A), bell peppers (B), celery (C), radishes (D), and carrots (E) were inoculated with 10 μL of an overnight culture of each isolate and incubated at 30°C in a moist chamber. Pictures were taken at 24 h (celery), 48 h (radish and carrot), and 72 h (potato and bell pepper) after inoculation. Dark, wet, and mushy spots are symptoms of soft rot. The scale bars in each image equal 1 cm.
