The Pseudomonas syringae phylogenetic group comprises 15 recognized bacterial species and more than 60 pathovars. The classification and identification of strains is relevant for practical reasons but also for understanding the epidemiology and ecology of this group of plant pathogenic bacteria. Genome-based taxonomic analyses have been introduced recently to clarify the taxonomy of the whole g...

Abstract Halo blight of mungbean ( Vigna radiata var. ) is caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola . This pathogen transmitted via infected seed, facilitating spread disease into new cultivated areas. Prospective seed crops are currently subjected to visual inspection as a means determining status, however, this poor method that relies on visible symptoms and does not ac...

Apart from the observation by Alsberg (1911) that gluconic acid is produced from glucose by Phytomonas savastanoi, the oxidative metabolism of fluorescent pseudomonads has received little attention until very recently. For the most part it has been tacitly assumed that these org Ims, by virtue of their obligately aerobic nature, carry out a complete mineralization of organic substrates (den Doo...
