Abstract

Obligate bacterial parasite attacking Heterodera glycines was firstly found from Chungju soybean field in Korea. Diameters of sporangium and central body were 5.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ under light microscopy (LM), and 3.9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ under transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Endospore showed cup-shaped with smooth-type exosporium without peg-like thickening in polar area under SEM and TEM. Bacteria completed its life cycle in female of soybean cyst nematode after adhering on cuticle of second-stage juvenile. From these results, the Pasteuria found from Chungju was identified with P. nishizawae.
