PSEUDOMONAS CHLORORAPHIS

'''Pseudomonas chlororaphis''' is a bacterium used as a soil inoculant in agriculture and horticulture. It can act as a biocontrol agent against certain fungal plant pathogens via production of phenazine type antibiotics^[1]. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, ''P. chlororaphis'' has been placed in the ''P. chlororaphis'' group Phylogenetic affiliation of the pseudomonads based on 16S rRNA sequence, Anzai, ''et al.'', , , Int J Syst Evol Microbiol, 2000, Jul .
