MORPHOLOGICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF BACTERIA OF THE GENUS PSEUDOMONAS ISOLATED FROM PLANT MATERIAL
Abstract
Twelve bacterial cultures including six Pseudomonas strains were isolated from plant material (leaves of strawberry). Morphological, physiological and biochemical properties of isolated cultures were examined. By combination of classical methods of diagnostics and techniques of molecular genetics such as 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis three Pseudomonas strains were identified. Prevalence of Pseudomonas among natural bacterial populations and wide metabolic activity of the genus were confirmed.
