Erwinia carotovora

Posted by Catatan Kaki at 11:12 AM Labels:
This bacteria is considered a problem species for farmers. It attacks a variety of vegetables and causes the cell structures to break down causing "soft rot". The vegetables turn soft and watery which will then progress to a foul smelling slime. Chlorine dioxide (or bleach) is used to kill the bacteria on fruit surfaces.
