Pseudomonas zeiradicisfrom corn andPseudomonas soyaefrom soybean, two newPseudomonasspecies and endophytes from agricultural crops

ABSTRACT Two novel Pseudomonas species associated with healthy plants and other habitats are described from the United States. They are Pseudomonas zeiradicis strain PI116 from corn in Missouri, compost from Massachusetts, urban soil from Iowa and water of Lake Erie; and Pseudomonas soyae strain JL117 from soybean in Indiana and Wisconsin, and soil in Wyoming. No plant pathogenic strains are known for any of the novel species based on genome comparisons to assemblies in GenBank.
