Pseudomonas fluorescens strain S613

Pseudomonas fluorescens strain S613 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its aerobic metabolism and heterotrophic energy source. This strain exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella and typically exists as single cells rather than in clusters. It thrives optimally at 25°C and falls within a mesophilic temperature range. This bacterium has a free-living biotic relationship and is known to inhabit multiple environments, showcasing its versatility. It can interact with various hosts, including Homo sapiens, Metazoa, and several plant species such as Triticum aestivum (wheat), Solanum tuberosum (potato), and Solanum lycopersicum (tomato). Other hosts include amphibians and a variety of other plants, indicating a broad ecological niche. Pseudomonas fluorescens strain S613 is noted for its potential health effects, primarily related to bacterial infections in animals, highlighting its pathogenicity. The presence of this strain in diverse ecosystems suggests that it may play a significant role in microbial communities, influencing interactions within both animal and plant hosts. Its ability to thrive across different habitats and its interactions with multiple organisms underscore its ecological importance and potential implications for health and disease dynamics in both agricultural and natural environments.
