Abstract

Antagonistic fluorescent pseudomonads isolated from rice rhizospheric soil were characterized using biochemical, taxonomical and molecular tools. Production of cyclopropane fatty acid (CFA) was correlated with their antagonistic potential. Strains were grouped into 18 different genotypes on the basis of amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and repetitive (rep)-PCR based genotypic fingerprinting analyses. High phylogenetic resolution among antagonistic fluorescent pseudomonad strains was obtained based on the DNA gyrase B subunit (gyrB) and RNA polymerase sigma factor 70 (rpoD) gene sequence analyses. Combined gyrB and rpoD sequence analysis resulted in the accurate estimation of molecular phylogeny and provided a significant correlation between the genetic distances among strains. Present study demonstrated the genetic and functional relationship of fluorescent pseudomonads. The knowledge on genetic and functional potential of fluorescent pseudomonads associated with rice rhizosphere is useful to understand their ecological role and for their utilization in sustainable agriculture.
