Pseudomonas fragi strain F1801

Pseudomonas fragi strain F1801 is a psychrophilic bacterium commonly found in cold environments, such as cutting and processing laboratories, on the leaves of cold-adapted plants, and in food products like meat and milk. This strain is particularly significant in processing facilities, where it can influence food safety and spoilage due to its ability to thrive at low temperatures. The genome of Pseudomonas fragi strain F1801 is characterized by a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic structure and stability. The strain is cataloged under the accession number NQKQ00000000.1, which allows for its identification and further study within scientific databases. The ecological role of Pseudomonas fragi strain F1801 in cold environments is notable; it contributes to the microbial diversity in these habitats and is involved in the decomposition of organic matter. Its presence in food processing environments raises concerns regarding spoilage, as it can lead to deterioration of perishable goods. Understanding the traits and behaviors of this strain can inform better practices in food preservation and safety, highlighting the need for monitoring in settings where cold-adapted microorganisms are prevalent.
