Pseudomonas syringae is the most common phytopathogenic bacterium with a wide range of target plants, which include important cereals such as wheat. One main pathogens bacterial diseases wheat pv. atrofaciens. In some countries, yield losses caused by this reach 50%. Currently, taxonomy P. includes more than 50 pathovars varying degrees adaptation to lesions. them сoronafaciens. Coronafaciens n...

A total of 828 isolates of fluorescent pseudomonads (FPs) were obtained from the leaves (305 isolates) and roots (523 isolates) of potato plants grown in different geographical locations in Japan, and 16S rRNA gene sequences of 776 isolates were successfully determined by direct PCR sequencing. Clustering analysis (≥99% identity) identified 13 and 26 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) for leaf-...

Certain members of the fluorescent pseudomonads produce and secrete phenazines. These heterocyclic, redox-active compounds are toxic to competing organisms, and the cause of these antibiotic effects has been the focus of intense research efforts. It is largely unknown, however, how pseudomonads themselves respond to - and survive in the presence of - these compounds. Using Pseudomonas aeruginos...

The selective toxicity of the respiratory inhibitor Tinopal AN (1,l-bis (3,N-5dimethylbenzoxazol-2-yl) methine p-toluene sulphonate) towards phytopathogenic bacteria was investigated further and in general was confirmed using more than 160 additional strains of Pseudomonas spp. The mechanism(s) of the resistance shown by saprophytic fluorescent pseudomonads were studied to elucidate the differe...

A systematic experimental procedure for fish shelf-life modelling was used to develop a model for predicting the quality of fish in the chill chain. For this, the growth of the naturally occurring bacteria pseudomonads, Shewanella putrefaciens, Enterobacteriaceae, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, on gilt-head seabream (Sparus aurata), was studied at temperatures from 0 to 15 degrees C. The resu...
