Description

Description:
 
Pseudomonas fluorescens has multiple flagella. It has an extremely versatile metabolism, and can be found in the soil and in water. It is an obligate aerobe, but certain strains are capable of using nitrate instead of oxygen as a final electron acceptor during cellular respiration.
 
Optimal temperatures for growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens are ****0 degrees Celsius. It tests positive for the oxidase test. Pseudomonas fluorescens is also a nonsaccharolytic bacteria.
 
Heat-stable lipases and proteases are produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens and other similar pseudomonads. These enzymes cause milk to spoil, by causing bitterness, casein breakdown, and ropiness due to production of slime and coagulation of proteins.
 
 
Applications:
Seed treatment
Seedling Root dip
Soil application
Used as a  bio-control agent against several plant disease causing pathogens.
Produces a soluble, green fluorescent pigment pyoverdine which is responsible for chelating iron only when concentrations are low.
Pseudomonas fluorescens are commensal species with plants, allowing plants to attain key nutrients, degrading pollutants, and suppressing pathogens via antibiotic productions.
