PSEUDOMONAS AVELLANAE

'''Pseudomonas avellanae''' is a Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium. It is the causal agent of bacterial canker of hazelnut (''Corylus avellana'')^[1]. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, ''P. avellanae'' has been placed in the ''P. syringae'' group^[2]. This species was once included as a pathovar of ''Pseudomonas syringae'' but following DNA-DNA hybridization, it was instated as a separate species^[3]. Following ribotypical analysis ''Pseudomonas syringae'' pv. ''theae'' was incorporated into this species DNA relatedness among the pathovars of ''Pseudomonas syringae'' and description of ''Pseudomonas tremae'' sp. nov. and ''Pseudomonas cannabina'' sp. nov. (ex Sutic and Dowson 1959), Gardan, ''et al.'', , , Int J Syst Bacteriol, 1999 Apr .
