[Plant-biology] Agrobacterium

[Sheshagiri R]

Dear Friends,
I have few questions about Agrobacterium. I would be grateful to you if you 
can quickly answer them.

1. Can EHA-105 grow on Streptomycin?  If not, on repeated subculturing on 
streptomycin, can it overcome the antibiotic through mutations ?

2. How authentic is the Lactose test to confirm that a bacterium is  
Agrobacterium ? Are there any other confirmatory tests available?

Regards,
Sheshagiri,
India
