Soybean sprout, one of the traditional foods in Korea, has a problem of rot disease under humid and closed cultivation condition. There is lack of identification of pathogens of soybean sprouts, however. In this study, soybean sprout pathogens were isolated and identified. Thirty-three and sixteen strains of bacteria and fungi, respectively, were isolated from the rotten tissues of soybean sprouts. Pectobacterium carotovorum and Pseudomonas spp. were identified as bacterial pathogens, while Fusarium oxysporium, Alternaria sp., Rhizoctonia sp. and Mucor sp. were identified as fungal pathogens. Alternaria sp. and Mucor sp. have not been reported till now as pathogens of soybean sprouts |
