Two pseudomonad strains that produce a yellow cellular pigment, in addition to a diffusible fluorescent pigment on Kings medium B, were isolated from cankers on walnut trees. Biochemical properties, such as a positive oxidase reaction, a negative arginine dihydrolase reaction, and the production of a fluorescent pigment, in addition to the results of an extensive nutritional characterization study and DNA-DNA hybridization experiments, indicated that these strains belong to a new Pseudomonas rRNA group I species. This conclusion was supported by the results of a determination of the sequence of the PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene and a comparison with the 16S rRNA genes of other bacterial species. The genomic DNAs of the strains had a base composition of 63 mol% G+C. The name Pseudomonas flavescens sp. nov. is proposed. Strain B62 (= NCPPB 3063) is the type strain of the species.

Infections of agricultural crops caused by pathogen ic fungi are among the most widespread and harmful, as they not only reduce the quantity of the harvest but also significantly deteriorate its quality. This study aims to develop unique seed-coating formulations incorporating biopolymers (polyhydroxyalkanoate and pullulan) and beneficial microorganisms for plant protection against phytopathogens. A microbial association of biocompatible endophytic bacteria has been created, including D5, A2, B5, and D7.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has driven the need for novel antibiotics. Our investigations have focussed on lichens as they naturally produce a wide range of unique and very effective defence chemicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate some of the antimicrobial properties of ten common British churchyard lichens.

The article is devoted to studying the features of the formation of communities of microorganisms, adapting to the conditions of existence in various types of agrophytocenoses. The study was carried out on model weed plant species, the most common in agrophytocenoses of the Belgorod region. Two nutrient media were prepared for microbiological examination: nutrient agar (BPA - the number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms) and ENDO - an elective medium for CB ( bacteria).

Due to the increasing use and accumulation of petrochemical plastics in the environment and the rapid depletion of natural resources, microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates have great potential to replace them. This study provides new insights in the field of obtaining of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from endophytic bacterial strains and applying them as potential biocontrol agents against postharvest diseases of apples. Two strains- D5 and A2-accumulated PHAs in amounts ranging from 2.
