Pseudomonas syringae pv. aceris strain ICMP 9850

Pseudomonas syringae pv. aceris strain ICMP 9850 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella. This organism is classified as a heterotroph, indicating that it obtains its energy from organic compounds. P. syringae pv. aceris is an aerobic bacterium, requiring oxygen for its metabolic processes. This strain is mesophilic, thriving within moderate temperature ranges that are conducive to its growth. It possesses a single replicon and is characterized by a dual-membrane structure, typical of Gram-negative bacteria. P. syringae pv. aceris is free-living, suggesting that it does not depend on a host for survival and can inhabit multiple environments. The ecological significance of Pseudomonas syringae pv. aceris lies in its ability to occupy diverse habitats, which may include soil and plant surfaces. This versatility allows the bacterium to play a role in nutrient cycling and can influence plant health. Its pathogenic potential in certain contexts, particularly in relation to plant hosts, could have implications for agriculture and ecosystem dynamics. The strain is cataloged under accession number RBSM00000000.1, which provides a reference for further studies on its genetic and functional characteristics.
