Abstract
Four micro-organisms were isolated from rotted onion bulbs, purple variety, purchased from markets in the Lagos State of Nigeria. Three of them were pathogenic; they produce soft rot when wound-inoculated into healthy onions bulb. The micro-organisms were identified as Pseudomonas cepacia Buckholder, Candida utills (Henneberg) Lodder and Kreger-Van Rig and Pseudomonas fluorescens Migula; the last being the most pathogenic of the three.
