This organism produces pectinolytic enzymes which break down plant cell walls allowing for the spread of disease. D. dadantii catabolizes glucose by a fermentative pathway and reduce nitrates to nitrites. Pectinolytic enzymes produce indole and grow at 36 degrees Celsius. It catabolizes (+)-L-arabinose, myo-inositol, (+)-D-malate, malonate, D-mannose, mucate, saccharate and mesotartrate, but does not catabolize (+)-D-trehalose, methyl a-glucoside, (+)-D-arabitol or sorbitol. It is isolated from soft rot and wilt of a various range of plants, such as Zea mays, Ananas comosus, Brachiaria ruziziensis, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Musa spp., Nicotiana tabacum, Oryza sativa and Solanum tuberosum, and from water. D. dadantii possesses two O-serogroups O: 1 and O: 6. (Adaptated from PMID: 16014461)."xsd:string |
