Potato Scab linked to a peculiar fungus, study notes
The Mycological Laboratory reports that potato scab results from a unique filamentous fungus rather than a common bacterium. The fungus forms a gray film on early stages, reproduces from spores, and when applied to young potato tubers, reliably causes disease under controlled conditions. Further work compares related organisms and explores rubbish-associated growth tied to scab presence.
