Plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial strain FP607
T was isolated from the rhizosphere of beets in Wuhan, China. Strain FP607
T exhibited significant antagonism toward several phytopathogenic bacteria, indicating that FP607
T may produce antimicrobial metabolites and has a stronger biocontrol efficacy against plant pathogens. Growth-promoting tests showed that FP607
T produced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), NH
3, and ferritin. The genome sequence of strain FP607
T was 6,590,972 bp long with 59.0% G + C content. The optimum temperature range was 25–30 °C, and the optimum pH was 7. The cells of strain FP607
T were Gram-negative, short, and rod-shaped, with polar flagella. The colonies on the King’s B (KB) agar plates were light yellow, smooth, and circular, with regular edges. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA sequence and a multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) showed that strain FP607
T was most closely related to the type of strain
Pseudomonas farris SWRI79
T. Based on a polyphasic taxonomic approach, strain FP607
T was identified as a novel species within the genus
Pseudomonas, for which the name
Pseudomonas wuhanensis sp. nov. was proposed. The type of strain used was FP607
T (JCM 35688, CGMCC 27743, and ACCC 62446).
