Damage:

Leaf galls  induced by  Anguina graminis on Festuca rubra L. are exploited by Rathayibacter festucae  (type strain VKM Ac-1390(T) UCM Ac-619(T)) which is a coryneform actinomycete. Rathayibacter festucae is easily recognized among other yellow-pigmented rathayibacters because of its rose-orange-colored colonies (Dorofeeva et al., 2002).
