SERRATIA FONTICOLA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Serratia |
| Species: | Serratia fonticola |
| Description: | The organism is a Gram-negative,rod-shaped,motile,facultatively anaerobic,rod-like bacterium that grows as single cells or in chains. It expresses phosphate solubilization and antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia sp. |
| Synonyms: | Serratia glossinae |
| Source: | The strains were isolated from fresh water and soil (Gavini et al., 1979). It is also isolated from rhizosphere of pea roots and confers traits similar to PGPR. |
| Pathogenicity: | Serratia fonticola belongs to a group of opportunistic pathogens and can cause illness in people with weak or damaged immune systems. |
