Pseudomonas was isolated from tomato plants with pith necrosis collected from different areas in Spain and from pepper plants with pith necrosis in Tenerife (Canary Islands). Cultural, biochemical and physiological characteristics of isolates from both hosts were similar to those of the type strain of P. corrugata. Serological heterogeneity was observed among isolates of P. corrugata in immunofluorescence tests. A plasmid of more than 273 MDa was detected in all the isolates. Inoculation of pepper and tomato plants with isolates from both hosts caused similar pith necrosis. This is apparently the first report of P. corrugata on pepper.
