On the basis of morphological, physiological, biochemical
characteristics (data not shown) and comparative analysis
of the sequence with already available database
showed that the strains PsM6 and PjM15 were close to
the members of the genus Pseudomonas. Partial sequence
of PsM6 (780 bp) showed 99% homology with the sequence
of Pseudomonas sp. and PjM15 (923 bp) showed 99%
homology with Pseudomonas jessenii. The sequences were
deposited at GenBank (Pseudomonas sp. PsM6, accession
no. AM707021; Pseudomonas jessenii PjM15, accession
no. AM707022
