Acidovorax citrulli is a Gram-negative, biotrophic bacterium that causes seedling blight and bacterial fruit blotch of cucurbits. On the basis of carbon source utilization, DNA fingerprinting profiles, whole cell fatty acid composition and pathogenicity assays, it is divided into two distinct groups: group I strains are mainly associated with non-watermelon plants, while group II includes strains mainly isolated from watermelon.
