Abstract : A bacterium was isolated from gall lesions on mango leaves caused by the gall fly Procontarinia matteiana in South Africa. By means of morphological, physiological, biochemical and pathogenicity tests and PAGE, the isolate was identified as X. campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae, the causal organism of bacterial black spot of mangoes.
