[Pseudomonas rathonis--a new species of "Pseudomonas aeruginosa-complex"].

Pseudomonas strains (n = 8), isolated from soil and attributed to a new species of Pseudomonas rathonis have been studied by the methods of polyphasic taxonomic analysis. The data of 16 S rRNA sequence, sequence of gyr B-gene, DNA-DNA molecular hybridization, data of fatty acid composition and phenotypical analysis proved, that the studied bacteria belonged to "Pseudomonas aeruginosa-complex". The set of characteristics to differentiate Pseudomonas rathonis from other 11 species of this complex has been proposed.

[Taxonomic analysis of Pseudomonas strains with uncertain taxonomic status].

Pseudomonas strains isolated from soil and rhizosphere and designated as "Pseudomonas rathonis", Pseudomonas sp. B and Pseudomonas sp. C have been characterized by 113 phenotypic properties and studied by methods of molecular-genetic analysis.

[Taxonomic contribution and antagonistic properties of antarctic fluorescent bacteria of Pseudomonas genus].

Fifty (50) strains of Pseudomonas genus have been isolated from the samples of soil, moss and bottom sediments taken on the Galindes, Piterman and Deception Islands (Ukrainian Antarctic station Akademik Vernadsky). Characteristic of the above strains by 84 phenotype features and identification by means of the computer program permitted them to be referred to the species Pseudomonas fluorescens (biovar V.), P.

[Identification of the Pseudomonas genus bacteria by computer analysis].

A computer program for the simplified phenotypic identification of Pseudomonas has been developed. The information concerning 66 species included in up-to-date Pseudomonas genus characterized by 113 tests was accumulated in a database. The identification key is represented in interactive mode on a website http://www.
