Abstract:
The rot caused by fungal infection is the main factor affecting the postharvest storage of Yuluxiang pear. In order to clarify the species and biological characteristics of pathogenic bacteria that cause postharvest rot of Yuluxiang pear, the postharvest pathogenic bacteria were isolated and purified, combining morphological and molecular biological characteristics to determine its species, and to clarify the growth of pathogenic bacteria under different temperature, pH, carbon and nitrogen source conditions. The results showed that:
Alternaria alternata,
Aspergillus,
Penicillium polonicum and
Fusarium were the main pathogens causing postharvest rot of Yuluxiang pear. The optimum growth temperature of
Alternaria alternata and
Fusarium was 25~30 ℃, while the optimum growth temperature of
Aspergillus and
Penicillium polonicum were 25~35 ℃ and 20~25 ℃, respectively. The optimum growth pH of
Alternaria alternata and
Aspergillus were 6~10 and 7, respectively, while the optimum growth pH of
Penicillium polonicum and
Fusarium were both 5~7. The optimum growth carbon sources of
Alternaria alternata and
Penicillium polonicum are glucose and mannitol, respectively, the optimum growth carbon source of
Aspergillus and
Fusarium was maltose. The optimum growth nitrogen source of
Alternaria alternata,
Aspergillus and
Fusarium was beef extract, and the optimum growth nitrogen source of
Penicillium polonicum was peptone.
