Cell growth and EPS production of Xcc strains at different sugars. a The growth of bacteria in radish leaf tissues was determined at OD600 in NY medium. b Strains were stabled into the plates followed by incubation at 28 °C for 4 days. c Strains in100 ml NY medium supplemented with or without 2% (wt/vol) various sugars at 28 °C with shaking at 200 rpm for 3 days. EPS was precipitated from the culture supernatant with ethanol, dried and weighed. Significant difference (P < 0.05) tested by one way-ANOVA. Different letters within one sugar indicate significant differences at a level of α < 0.05 based on Duncan’s test by one way-ANOVA
