Summary An atypical strain ofBurkholderia solanacearum was isolated from potato. Characters examined were colony shape, size, colouration, pathogenicity to susceptible hosts, vascular discolouration and biovar features. In contrast to normal white-coloured colonies, this atypical strain produced cream coloured, fluidal colonies on tetrazolium chloride medium. It did not cause disease symptoms in eggplant, datura and pepper but was slightly to highly pathogenic on tomato and potato respectively but caused no discolouration of vascular tissues. This atypical strain from potato also differed from established biovars in its ability to produce acid only from mannitol and maltose, a combination which has not been previously reported. This is believed to be the first report of the presence of an atypical strain ofB. solanacearum from India.
