Abstract

In order to determine the causal agent of the rotted tomato fruits 011 the
market of Texcoco, Mexico, various samples were taken between February and
April. After isolation and a test of Koch's postulates, it was concluded that the
causal agents were a fungus and a bacteria. The fungus was identified as Geotrichum
candidum Link and the bacterial isolate presented a pecrolytic activity
in sodium polypectate medium, was pathogenic to potato, did not produce
hypersensibility on tobacco, had characteristicly typical colonies on CPG medium,
and was fermentative, all of which indicates that the genus Envinia of
the "carotovora" group is involved.
