Pseudomonas fluorescens is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in soil and water. It is known for producing a fluorescent pigment called pyoverdin, which helps in iron acquisition. This bacterium is highly versatile, with multiple flagella for movement and the ability to thrive in various environments.
While Pseudomonas fluorescens is not typically pathogenic to humans, it plays a beneficial role in agriculture by protecting crops from harmful organisms. It can also form biofilms, which help it adhere to surfaces and survive in challenging conditions
