That may not be necessary. I am still searching for temperature growth
profiles for Erwinia x. If the bacteria growth profile indicates it is
incapable of growth in a near freezing environment only a temperature probe
would seem necessary to me.
Also, in this search the several different species of Erwinia suggests Eaves
concerns over the complexity of the mutation/facilitator issues may be
further complicated by the possibility that we be dealing with different
strains of the same bacteria that may have differing attack profiles
(Burleson speculation).
While this speculation may or may not be true it offer a simple explanation
for the widely varying conditions under which we encounter bacterial soft
rot.
