Gram-positive coryneform rods. Non-motile. Non-sporulated.
Colonies are yellow, round, mucoid or fluidal and entire, 1.5-2 mm in diameter after 5
days in incubation on King B medium at 25 ºC. Grows on King B medium, TTC
(2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride) agar. Aerobe. Optimal growth at 24-28 ºC; range
4-35 ºC. Can grow in 0-5% NaCl.
Isolated from bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris).
Pathogenic in bean, causing bacterial bean leaf yellowing: brown spots, yellowing and chlorosis in leaves, vascular wilting, rot and
necrosis, alteration of leaf nerves and burnt. On pods, the symptoms consisted of orange spots and darkening sutures, which
culminated in drying; whereas on seeds, the symptoms observed were small size in some and the appearance of some spots.
