Pseudomonas chlororaphis is a bacterium used as a soil inoculant in agriculture and horticulture. It can act as a biocontrol agent against certain fungal plant pathogens via production of phenazine type antibiotics^[1]. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. chlororaphis has been placed in the P. chlororaphis group^[2].

[edit] The Pseudomonas chlororaphis group

P. chlororaphis lends its name to a subgroup within the genus Pseudomonas. The other members of the P. chlororaphis subgroup are P. aurantica, P. aureofaciens, P. fragi, P. lundensis and P. taetrolens.^[2]
