Bacterium fragi Eichholz 1902

Pseudomonas fragi is a psychrophilic, Gram-negative bacterium that is responsible for dairy spoilage[1]. Unlike many other members of the Pseudomonas genus, P. fragi does not produce siderophores[2]. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. fragi has been placed in the P. chlororaphis group[3].
