Effects of Systemic Pesticides Imidacloprid and Metalaxyl on the Phyllosphere of Pepper Plants
Figure 3
DGGE analysis of the bacterial community in the phyllosphere of pepper plants subjected to foliage or soil applications of imidachloprid, metalaxyl, or water (untreated control). Lanes designated with M correspond to a marker which contained 20 ng μL−1 of the 16S rRNA-PCR products of each of the following bacteria appearing on the gel from top to bottom: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas sp., P. putida, Flavobacterium sp., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Xanthomonas sp., and Agrobacterium sp.
