My baby bacterium is Pseudomonus fluoroscens, which is a very interesting plant growth bacteria.
I love the fact that it doe not limit it self to promoting plant growth but it is also involved in bioremediation,degrading pollutants etc.
it is classified as a Gammaproteabacteria
Genus: Pseudomonus
Phylum: Pseudomonadota
Family: Pseudomonadaceae

A major challenge for mankind is how to increase agricultural productivity while preserving and increasing biodiversity. The competition between humans, we
This is how the colonis of Pseudomonas fluorescents looks like
Microbial biofilms represent an incompletely understood, but fundamental mode of bacterial growth. These sessile communities typically consist of stratified, morphologically-distinct layers of extracellular material, where numerous metabolic processes occur simultaneously in close proximity. Limited reports on environmental isolates have revealed highly ordered, three-dimensional organization of the extracellular matrix, which may hold important implications for biofilm physiology in vivo.
Application of a plant growth promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR), Pseudomonas fluorescens N21.4, to roots of blackberries (Rubus sp.) is part of an optimised cultivation practice to improve yields and quality of fruit throughout the year in this important fruit crop. Blackberries are especially rich in flavonoids and therefore offer potential benefits for human health in prevention or amelioration of chronic diseases.
The inoculation of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can significantly enhance its growth and yield in a sustainable manner. Drought tolerance is mediated by a combination of direct AMF and PGPR benefits that boost the plant’s natural ability to cope with stress, whereas drought mitigation is mediated by indirect AMF and PGPR benefits and increased water uptake.
SUMMARY: A study of phytopathogenic pseudomonads was begun, but it was found that they could not easily be differentiated from the commonly occurring soil- and water-inhabiting fluorescent pseudomonads. A collection of 169 isolates, including 24 named cultures from various collections, was studied. Both old and new kinds of diagnostic characters, cytological, physiological and biochemical, were investigated under standard conditions.
