Abstract

The antibacterial activities of aqueous, acetonous and methanol extracts of galls caused by Aphelonyx persica on Quercus persica were compared on some gram positive and gram negative plant pathogenic bacteria including: Xanthomonas translucens pv. cerealis (cause of bacterial leaf streak of wheat), Ralstonia solanacearum (cause of bacterial wilt of potato), Rathayibacter tritici (cause of wheat gum) and Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (cause of bacterial canker of tomato). Oak galls were collected in Zagros forests of Iran. Antibacterial properties of extracts at concentrations of 10, 50 and 100 mg/ml were studied as inhibition zone using two methods including agar well diffusion assay and disc diffusion assay. The results showed that gram-positive bacteria including Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis and Rathayibacter tritici were more sensitive to the gall extracts compared with gram-negative bacteria such as Xanthomonas translucens pv. cerealis and Ralstonia solanacearum at different concentrations of all three solvents extract (aqueous, acetone and methanol).
