FIG. 2.
Relative densities of major bacterial populations present on uninoculated sprouts at selected time points as identified by polymorphisms of PCR-amplified rDNA spacer regions and subsequent partial 16S rDNA sequencing. The results for Pseudomonas ( ), Erwinia (□), and Paenibacillus (▪) spp. and for species either not identified or present in proportions of <5% (▨) are presented.
