Pseudomonas fluorescens Q8r1-96 genome sequencing

bacterial cells grown in pure culture. Pseudomonas fluorescens Q8r1-96 was isolated in 1996 from roots of wheat grown in an agricultural field near Quincy, Washington, USA (DOI: 10.1094/MPMI.1998.11.2.144). The strain colonizes the rhizosphere of wheat and barley and suppresses a plant disease called take-all of wheat, which is caused by the root-infecting fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (PMID:12147763). Strain Q8r1-96 is a superior rhizosphere colonist and contributes to natural processes of biological control observed in plant-disease suppressive soils.

纯培养条件下培养的细菌细胞。荧光假单胞菌Q8r1-96菌株于1996年从美国华盛顿州昆西附近农田中种植的小麦根部分离获得（DOI: 10.1094/MPMI.1998.11.2.144）。该菌株能够定殖于小麦和大麦的根际，并抑制小麦纹枯病，纹枯病是由根际感染的真菌Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici引起的（PMID:12147763）。Q8r1-96菌株作为一种卓越的根际定殖菌，对植物病害抑制土壤中观察到的自然生物控制过程做出了贡献。
