Pseudomonas panacis Park et al. 2005.
Gram negative rods, motile by means of one or more flagella. Spores are not formed.
Colonies on nutritive agar are flat, translucent, butyraceous, beige-coloured with
entire margins and usually 2–3 mm in diameter within 2 days at 30 °C. Produces
fluorescent pigment on King’s B medium.
Aerobic. Very poor growth detected under anaerobic conditions. Grows between 4 and
35 °C, but not at 37 °C. Tolerates NaCl up to 5% on nutritive agar.
Isolated from the surface tissue of a rusty root lesion of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng).
Unknown. Is a possible plant pathogen.
