1. 콩잎의 세균밀도는 4.60×102~ 9.10×105CFU/cm2으로, 생육단계가 진전됨에 따라 세균밀도가 증가하는 경향이었다. 2. 콩나물 부패 세균의 밀도는 콩잎에서 0~5.00×103CFU/cm2으로, 부패세균의 밀도는 생육단계에 관련이 없었으나 재배지역과는 관련이 있었다. 3. 나물 콩 품종과 콩나물 부패세균의 밀도는 품종과 관련이 적었으며 생육단계와 작물의 부위에 따라 변이가 심하였다. 4. 콩잎에서 분리된 콩나물 부패세균은 Erwinia cypripedii, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora, Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines, Staphylococcus sp., Micrococcus sp. 이며, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora, X. campestris pv. glycines가 밀도가 높았다.다.
Bacterial population density on soybean leaves was 102 105CFU/cm2. Bacterial population density was increased by progress of plant growth stage. Population density of soybean sprout rotting bacteria on soybean leaves was 0 103CFU/cm2. Population density of soybean sprouts rotting bacteria was related to cultivating area, but not related to plant growth stage. Cultivar and population density of soybean sprout rotting bacteria were less corelated, and varied by plant growth stages and plant parts. Erwina cypripedii, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora, Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines, Staphylococcus sp., and Micrococcus sp. were identified as pathogenic bacteria causing soybean sprout rot. In generally population density of E. cypripedii, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora, Micrococcus sp., and X. campestris pv. glycines were high.
