Abstract
Cellulose-minus mutants of Agrobacterium tumefaciens retain virulence but can be removed from wound sites by washing with water. Washing of Bryophyllum diagremontiana leaves inoculated with a cellulose-minus mutant was used to determine the minimum time the bacteria must be present for tumor induction. This time was 4 to 8 h.
