Pectobacterium , which causes soft rot disease, is divided into 18 species based on the current classification. A total of 225 Pectobacterium strains were isolated from 10 main cultivation regions of potato ( Solanum tuberosum ), napa cabbage ( Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis ), and radish ( Raphanus sativus ) in South Korea; 202 isolates (90%) were from potato, 18 from napa cabbage, and five from radish. Strains were identified using the Biolog test and phylogenetic analysis. The pathogenicity and swimming motility were tested at four different temperatures. Pectolytic activity and plant cell-wall degrading enzyme (PCWDE) activity were evaluated for six species ( P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum , Pcc; P. odoriferum , Pod; P. brasiliense , Pbr; P. versatile , Pve; P. polaris , Ppo; P. parmentieri , Ppa). Pod, Pcc, Pbr, and Pve were the most prevalent species. Although P. atrosepticum is a widespread pathogen in other countries, it was not found here. This is the first report of Ppo, Ppa, and Pve in South Korea. Pectobacterium species showed stronger activity at 28°C and 32°C than at 24°C, and showed weak activity at 37°C. Pectolytic activity decreased with increasing temperature. Activity of pectate lyase was not significantly affected by temperature . Activity of protease, cellulase, and polygalacturonase decreased with increasing temperature. The inability of isolated Pectobacterium to soften host tissues at 37°C may be a consequence of decreased motility and PCWDE activity. These data suggest that future increases in temperature as a result of climate change may affect the population dynamics of Pectobacterium .
