2.2 Dickeya solani and D. dianthicola strains used
in plant assays
Five D. dianthicola strains (RNS11-47-1-1A, CFBP1888, CFBP2982,
CFBP2015, MIE34) and five D. solani strains (3337 =
RNS08-23-3-1A, IPO2222, RNS05-1-2A, Ds0432.1, PPO9019) were used to
produce plant inoculation assays. The strains were chosen to be
different regarding phylogeny placement with neutral markers
(Figure S1 ) and geographical locations, isolation years or host
of collection (potato plants vs ornamentals, Table S2 ).
Phylogeny analyses were conducted using MEGA7 (Kumar, Stecher, &
Tamura, 2016). Bacterial strains were stored at -80°C in glycerol (25%
vol/vol). They were cultivated in TY medium (tryptone 5
g.L-1; yeast extract 3 g.L-1) with
or without agar (15 g.L-1) at 28°C.
