摘要： Acidovorax citrulli, the causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch, can be divided into two groups. Group I is mainly isolated from melon, and group II is mainly isolated from watermelon. In this study, group I and II strains were used to assess competition in vivo and in vitro by evaluating inhibition activity assays and by measuring population growth dynamics. Our results indicated that there is no mutual inhibition of growth between the two groups of strains in King's B medium. The bacterial populations of A. citrulli strains were counted within 7 days after inoculation in melon and watermelon cotyledons and plotted against time to generate population growth curves. Area under the population growth curves was calculated. When the two groups of strains were inoculated separately into melon and watermelon cotyledons, the results of analysis of variance show that there was no significant difference. In this study, for the first time in an experimental setting, we inoculated two A. citrulli groups into melon and watermelon cotyledons at the same time and determined the population dynamics of each strain. The results showed that there was no significant difference between two group strains in melon cotyledons. However, in watermelon cotyledons, the area under population growth curves of group II strain were significantly higher than those of group I strain. Three-way analysis of variance results showed that there was interaction between host and grouping on the influence of strain population level (p < 0.0001). These data provide additional information on the host preference of different groups of A. citrulli.
