Genome sequence of the biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens F113

J Bacteriol. 2012 Mar;194(5):1273-4. doi: 10.1128/JB.06601-11.

Abstract

Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) that has biocontrol activity against fungal plant pathogens and is a model for rhizosphere colonization. Here, we present its complete genome sequence, which shows that besides a core genome very similar to those of other strains sequenced within this species, F113 possesses a wide array of genes encoding specialized functions for thriving in the rhizosphere and interacting with eukaryotic organisms.
