Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 36F3

Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 36F3 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives as a heterotrophic aerobe. It exists in a free-living state and demonstrates mobility, facilitated by the presence of flagella. This strain has an optimal growth temperature of 25°C and falls within the mesophilic temperature range. The habitat of Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 36F3 is diverse, allowing it to adapt to various environments. It has a single replicon and possesses two membranes, which are characteristic of its Gram-negative classification. The strain has been associated with multiple hosts, including Homo sapiens, several Metazoa, and various plant species such as Triticum aestivum, Solanum tuberosum, and Brassica oleracea var. italica. Notably, Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 36F3 is recognized for its potential health impacts, particularly in relation to bacterial infections in animals. This pathogenicity indicates that while it can exist in a free-living state, it may interact with its hosts in ways that could lead to disease. The ecological role of Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 36F3 can be significant, contributing to nutrient cycling in various ecosystems while also posing risks of infection to certain hosts. Its diverse habitat and ability to infect multiple species highlight its adaptability and the complexity of its interactions within the environment.
