Pseudomonas nitroreducens: strain IHB B 13561 (PnIHB) enhances the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana and Lactuca sativa via the stimulation of cell development and nitrate absorption. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enhance plant development through various mechanisms; they improve the uptake of soil resources by plants to greatly promote plant growth. Here, we used Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings and Lactuca sativa to screen the growth enhancement activities of a purified PGPR, Pseudomonas nitroreducens strain IHB B 13561 (PnIHB). When cocultivated with PnIHB, both species of plants exhibited notably improved growth, particularly in regard to biomass. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated high expression levels of the nitrate transporter genes, especially NRT2.1, which plays a major role in the high-affinity nitrate transport system in roots. Moreover, enhanced activity of the cyclin-B1 promoter was observed when wild-type 'Columbia-0' Arabidopsis seedlings were exposed to PnIHB, whereas upregulation of cyclin-B also occurred in the inoculated lettuce seedlings. Overall, these results suggest that PnIHB improves A. thaliana and L. sativa growth via specific pathways involved in the promotion of cell development and enhancement of nitrate uptake.

L4 was isolated from the interior of cotton plants, which showed strong biocontrol activity against and other fungal pathogens. To elucidate the biocontrol mechanism, the genome sequence of L4 was sequenced using the Illumina and Nanopore sequencing platform. The assembled genome of L4 consisted of a single circular chromosome was 6,229,472 bp, with an average GC content of 64.

Background: Pseudomonas nitroreducens is a non-fermenting, gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium commonly inhabiting soil, particularly soil contaminated with oil brine. To our knowledge, no cases of human infection with P. nitroreducens have been previously reported.

Five strains of two novel species were isolated from the wastewater treatment systems of a pharmaceutical factory located in Zhejiang province, PR China. Strains ZM22 and Y6 were identified as belonging to a potential novel species of the genus , whereas strains ZM23, ZM24 and ZM25 were identified as belonging to a novel species of the genus . These strains were characterized by polyphasic approaches including 16S rRNA gene analysis, multi-locus sequence analysis, average nucleotide identity (ANI), DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH), physiological and biochemical tests, as well as chemotaxonomic analysis.
