Summary

Certain strains of the rhizosphere bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens contain the phenazine biosynthesis operon ( phzABCDEFG) and produce redox-active phenazine antibiotics that suppress a wide variety of soilborne plant pathogens. In 2007 and 2008, we isolated 412 phenazine-producing (Phz +) fluorescent Pseudomonas strains from roots of dryland wheat and barley grown in the low-precipitation region (
