Abstract – To search the antiseptic agents capable to
decontaminate the plants from pathogens the combined effect of moderate
heat shock (45oC) and glycolisis inhibitor monoiodoacetate
(MIA) on survival of potato pathogen Clavibacter
michiganensis ssp. sepedonicus (Cms) and yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was
studied. Under optimal temperature cultivation (26oC) MIA
had no toxic effect on S. cerevisiae
but decreased viability of Cms. The lethal effect of MIA significantly
increased during heat treatment at 45oC. MIA in the range
from 0.1 to 1 mM decreased the thermotolerance of Cms and S. cerevisiae
cells in 10-10000 folds in dependence from time of treatment. A minimal
concentration of MIA capable to affect the thermotolerance was 0.1 and
0.3 mM for S. cerevisiae and
Cms, respectively. The effect of MIA on Cms and yeast survival during
heat shock was stronger in logarithmic phase than in stationary ones.
