Pseudomonas fragi strain DBC was isolated from crude oil-contaminated soil. The genome of P. fragi DBC is comprised of 5,072,304 bp with 54.09% GC content. Genes for degradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons were found in the genome, in addition to genetic elements for related physiological functions such as chemotaxis, detoxification, and quorum sensing.

We report here the whole genome sequence of Pseudomonas syringae PDD-32b-74, a gammaproteobacterium isolated from cloud water. This microorganism is equipped with ice-nucleation protein and biosurfactant genes that could potentially be involved in physicochemical processes in the atmosphere and clouds.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pae221 is a clinical isolate from blood culture. Pae221 was found to be a strong quorum-sensing and biofilm-producing strain and also demonstrates a notable production of phenazines. This strain belongs to sequence type 274 (ST274), an epidemic high-risk clone. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa Pae221.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 18A is a clinical, nonclonal isolate retrieved from the sputum of a chronically infected cystic fibrosis patient. The genome of 18A was sequenced for comparison with environmental and clinical isolates to identify genes that might facilitate its persistence during infection.

Pulmonary infection with mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in present in the majority of cystic fibrosis patients with chronic lung disease. It has been postulated that this mucoid coating may act to decrease lung clearance of Pseudomonas by limiting access of phagocytes, antibodies, and antibiotics to the bacteria. To determine whether mucoid coating of Pseudomonas might decrease intrap...

Here we report the genome sequence of a plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas putida strain MTCC5279. The length of the draft genome sequence is approximately 5.2 Mb, with a GC content of 62.5%. The draft genome sequence reveals a number of genes whose products are possibly involved in plant growth promotion and abiotic stress tolerance.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen causing a broad range of infections in humans. We provide the draft genome sequence of the recently identified and highly virulent P. aeruginosa PA45 strain. Its 6.6-Mb genome contains 6,822 genes, including an unparalleled number of virulence genes, which might explain its aggressive phenotype.

RPG1 and RPM1 are disease resistance genes in soybean and Arabidopsis, respectively, that confer resistance to Pseudomonas syringae strains expressing the avirulence gene avrB. RPM1 has recently been demonstrated to have a second specificity, also conferring resistance to P. syringae strains expressing avrRpm1. Here we show that alleles, or closely linked genes, exist at the RPG1 locus in soybe...

Pseudomonas stutzeri is a nonfluorescent denitrifying bacterium widely distributed in the environment, and it has also been isolated as an opportunistic pathogen from humans. Over the past 15 years, much progress has been made in elucidating the taxonomy of this diverse taxonomical group, demonstrating the clonality of its populations. The species has received much attention because of its part...
