Description

Pseudomonas Syringae, Strain 742 Rs is a specific, well-characterized bacterial strain used as a key biocontrol agent and ice nucleation protein source. This product matters for industries seeking sustainable, biological alternatives to traditional chemical solutions for plant protection and biotechnological research. It is primarily needed by the agricultural technology, biopesticide formulation, and industrial microbiology sectors for applications in frost protection, plant disease management, and protein research.

Application

• Biological Ice Nucleation Agent: Used in cloud seeding and artificial snow production to induce ice crystal formation at higher temperatures.
• Biocontrol Agent in Agriculture: Applied as a biofungicide or bactericide to protect crops from fungal and bacterial pathogens through competitive exclusion.
• Frost Protection for Crops: Employed to manage ice nucleation activity on plant surfaces, potentially reducing frost damage in sensitive crops.
• Research & Development: Serves as a model organism and source of ice nucleation proteins (INPs) for studying plant-microbe interactions and protein function.
• Biotechnological Production: Used in fermentation processes for the production of specialized enzymes, biosurfactants, or other microbial metabolites.
• Seed Treatment: Formulated as a seed coating to promote plant growth and provide early-season protection against soil-borne diseases.

Quality Control

Our Pseudomonas Syringae, Strain 742 Rs is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure strain purity, viability, and functional activity. Each batch is tested for microbial purity (absence of contaminants), viable cell count, and specific activity (e.g., ice nucleation activity). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized (freeze-dried) material at 2-8°C. For liquid cultures or suspensions, specific storage conditions vary; refer to the accompanying technical data sheet. This material is easily oxidized; storage under recommended conditions is essential to maintain viability and activity.
