Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea strain ICMP 807

Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea strain ICMP 807 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits aerobic metabolism and is classified as a heterotroph. This strain can be found in multiple habitats, indicating its adaptability to various environmental conditions. It possesses a single replicon and features a double membrane structure, which is characteristic of many Gram-negative bacteria. The bacterium is motile, facilitated by the presence of flagella, enabling it to navigate its environment effectively. The optimal growth temperature for Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea strain ICMP 807 is 28°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This temperature preference suggests that the bacterium thrives in moderate environments, which may be reflective of the habitats it occupies. Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea strain ICMP 807 is known to have a free-living biotic relationship and is associated with several plant hosts, including Hordeum vulgare (barley), Glycine max (soybean), and Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco). Importantly, this strain is implicated in causing bacterial blight in soybean and related crops, which can lead to significant agricultural losses. The ecological insight into Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea strain ICMP 807 underscores its role as both a free-living organism and a plant pathogen. Its ability to infect important crop species highlights the need for monitoring and management strategies to mitigate its impact on agriculture.
