Effects of land management on pseudomonad community diversity. Pseudomonas sp.

This study evaluates the impact of land management legacy on the selection and function of wheat root associated pseudomonads. Three distinct previous land uses to wheat culture (grassland, arable and bare fallow) were tested. Pseudomonad abundance, phylogeny (gyrB and acdS genes), function (ACC deaminase activity) and the co-selection of acdS with other PGP genes were examined.
