植物病原棒形细菌的分类研究进展

植物病原棒形细菌从棒杆菌属中独立出来之后，对于其中各菌分类地位的确立一直有较多争议。近年来已分别归入棒形杆菌属（Clavibacter）、短小杆菌属（Curtobacterium）、节杆菌属（Arthrobacter）、红球菌属（Rhodococcus）和拉氏杆菌属（Rathayibacter）5个属中。但此后又有人提出有些属中仍有异质性。这些分类上的变化主要是由于分类手段逐渐由传统的形态学分类方法向分子生物学方法和多相分类法过度。新的方法还在不断的完善之中。此外，植物病原棒形细菌分类系统的完善还有赖于植物病理学和微生物学家等多学科科学家的合作。

TAXONOMY OF PLANT PATHOGENIC CORYNEFORM BACTERIA

There are many different opinions about the taxonomy of plant pathogenic coryneform bacteria since they were departed from genus of Corynebacteria. In recent years, they were classified into 5 genus, including Clav-ibacter, Curtobacterium, Arthrobacter, Rhodococcus and Rathayibacter. Some new points of view about their taxonomy have been published thereafter. The changing of taxonomy is maily because of the methods'altering from old to new molecular and polyphasic taxonomy, and the latter is in continuously development. Taxonomy of plant pathogenic coryneform bacteria somehow depends on the cooperation of phytopathologists, microbilogists and other scientists.
