ABSTRACT: Taxonomy
Kingdom Bacteria; Phylum Proteobacteria; Class Gammaproteobacteria; Family Pseudomonadaceae; Genus Pseudomonas; Species Pseudomonas syringae species complex, Genomospecies 6, Phylogroup 7 and 8.Microbiological properties
Gram-negative, fluorescent, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped, oxidase negative, arginine dihydrolase negative, levan production negative (or positive), potato rot positive (or negative), tobacco hypersensitivity positive.Genome
There are two complete genomes, five chromosome-level genomes, and 1,540 genomes composed of multiple scaffolds of P. viridiflava available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information Genome database. The median total length of these assemblies is 5,975,050 bp, the median number of protein coding genes is 5,208, and the median G + C content is 59.3%.Disease symptoms
P. viridiflava causes a variety of disease symptoms, including spots, streaks, necrosis, rots, and more in above- and below-ground plant parts on at least 50 hosts.Epidemiology
There have been several significant disease outbreaks on field and horticultural crops caused by P. viridiflava since the turn of the century. P. viridiflava has been reported as a pathogen, epiphyte, endophyte, and saprophyte. This species has been isolated from a variety of environmental sources, including asymptomatic wild plants, snow, epilithic biofilms, and icepacks.
