Popis: Pseudomonas chlororaphisisolates have been studied intensively for their beneficial traits.P. chlororaphisspecies function as probiotics in plants and fish, offering plants protection against microbes, nematodes and insects. In this review, we discuss the classification ofP. chlororaphisisolates within four subspecies; the shared traits include the production of coloured antimicrobial phenazines, high sequence identity between housekeeping genes and similar cellular fatty acid composition. The direct antimicrobial, insecticidal and nematocidal effects ofP. chlororaphisisolates are correlated with known metabolites. Other metabolites prime the plants for stress tolerance and participate in microbial cell signalling events and biofilm formation among other things. Formulations ofP. chlororaphisisolates and their metabolites are currently being commercialized for agricultural use.
