Pseudomonas protegens are widespread Gram-negative, plant-protecting bacteria.[1] Some of the strains of this novel bacterial species (CHA0 and Pf-5, for example) previously belonged to P. fluorescens. They were reclassified since they seem to cluster separately from other fluorescent Pseudomonas species. P. protegens is phylogenetically related to the Pseudomonas species complexes P. fluorescens, P. chlororaphis, and P. syringae. The bacterial species characteristically produces the antimicrobial compounds pyoluteorin and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) which are active against various plant pathogens.[1][2]
