Properties of Fluorescent Pigment-ProducingPseudomonasStrains Isolated from Soil and Roots of Fruit Trees

Characteristics of bacteria isolated from soil and roots of fruit trees

“…The discrepancy may be ascribed to the soil treatment in addition to differences in the root system. It was reported that the proportion of the counts of FPP-Pseudomonas to those of aerobic bacteria was usually very low on roots of fruit trees and wheat (SANDS and ROVIRA 1971;BARCLAY and CROSSE 1974;CATSKA et al 1982;GARDNER et al 1982;YASUDA and KATOH 1987). In this study, strains of FPP-Pseudomonas were not isolated from the roots of peach and apple trees.…”
