Pseudomonas amygdali
Species of bacterium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pseudomonas amygdali is a Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium.[1] It is named after its ability to cause disease on almond (Prunus amygdalus) trees. Different analyses, including 16S rRNA analysis,[2] DNA-DNA hybridization,[3] and MLST[4][5][6][7] clearly placed P. amygdali in the P. syringae group together with the species Pseudomonas ficuserectae and Pseudomonas meliae, and 27 pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae/Pseudomonas savastanoi, constituting a single, well-defined phylogenetic group which should be considered as a single species. This phylogenetic group has not been formally named because of the lack of reliable means to differentiate it phenotypically from closely related species,[3] and it is currently known as either genomospecies 2[3] or phylogroup 3.[4][5][8] When it is formally named, the correct name for this new species should be Pseudomonas amygdali,[3] which takes precedence over all the other names of taxa from this group, including Pseudomonas savastanoi, which is and inadequate and confusing name whose use is not recommended .[3][9]
