Pseudomonas syringae—more than any mineral or other organism—is responsible for the surface frost damage in plants [25] exposed to the environment. For plants without antifreeze proteins, frost damage usually occurs between −4 and −12 °C (25 and 10 °F) as the water in plant tissue can remain in a supercooled liquid state.
Pseudomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Pseudomonadaceae in the class Gammaproteobacteria.The 348 members of the genus [2] [3] demonstrate a great deal of metabolic diversity and consequently are able to colonize a wide range of niches. [4]
Burkholderia gladioli is a species of aerobic gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria [1] that causes disease in both humans and plants. It can also live in symbiosis with plants and fungi [2] and is found in soil, water, the rhizosphere, and in the microbiome of many animals. It was formerly known as Pseudomonas marginata.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause chronic opportunistic infections that have become increasingly apparent in immunocompromised patients and the ageing population of industrialised societies. The genome sequences of several pseudomonads have become available in recent years and researchers are beginning to use the data to make new discoveries ...
Pseudomonas can, in rare circumstances, cause community-acquired pneumonias, [39] as well as ventilator-associated pneumonias, being one of the most common agents isolated in several studies. [40] Pyocyanin is a virulence factor of the bacteria and has been known to cause death in C. elegans by oxidative stress .
Pseudomonas amygdali pv. eriobotryae infects loquat trees (Eriobotrya japonica). Pseudomonas amygdali pv. fraxini [13] Pseudomonas amygdali pv. glycinea causes disease of soybeans (Glycine max). Pseudomonas amygdali pv. hibisci is pathogenic to Hibiscus plants. Pseudomonas amygdali pv. lachrymans causes angular leaf spot on cucumber. Only ...
Pseudomonas brassicacearum is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that infects the roots of Brassica napus, [1] from which it derives its name. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. brassicacearum falls within the P. fluorescens group. [2] It has also been shown to have both pathogenic and plant growth-promoting effects on tomato plants. [3]
Pseudomonas viridiflava is a fluorescent, Gram-negative, soil bacterium that is pathogenic to plants. [1] It was originally isolated from the dwarf or runner bean, in Switzerland. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. viridiflava has been placed in the P. syringae group. [2] Following ribotypical analysis misidentified strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv.
