Species code:	PSEPF
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pseudomonadales; Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonas (TaxID: 205922) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Pseudomonas fluorescens is a nonpathogenic saprophyte that colonizes soil, water and plant surface environments. It produces a soluble, greenish fluorescent pigment, particularly under conditions of low iron availability. It is a obligate aerobe, except for some strains that can utilize NO3 as an electron acceptor in place of O2. It is motile by means of multiple polar flagella. It has simple nutritional requirements and grows well in mineral salts media supplemented with any of a large number of carbon sources. Pseudomonas fluorescens (strain Pf0-1) was isolated from agricultural soil. Pseudomonas fluorescens strains are being studied for use in applications that require release and survival of bacteria in the soil such as bioremediation of various organic compounds, and biocontrol of pathogens in agriculture. A number of strains suppress plant diseases by protecting the seeds and roots from fungal infection. Competitive exclusion of pathogens as the result of rapid colonization of the rhizosphere by Pseudomonas fluorescens may also be an important factor in disease control.
