Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca
Species of bacterium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca is an orange Gram-negative soil bacterium, originally isolated from the rhizosphere soil of potatoes. It produces di-2,4-diacetylfluoroglucylmethan, which is antibiotically active against Gram-positive organisms.[2] It has shown potential for use as a biocontrol agent against plant-pathogenic microbes.[3] Originally described as Pseudomonas aurantiaca based on 16S rRNA analysis it has been placed in the P. chlororaphis group.[4]
