Abstract
The fluorescent pseudomonads are bacteria which belong to the same intrageneric homology group, namely homology group No.1 (Palleroni et al., 1973). They are characterized by the biosynthesis, in iron-deficient conditions, of yellow-green, water-soluble fluorescent compounds, the pyoverdins, which are siderophores. Each strain of pseudomonad synthesizes mainly one pyoverdin, but closely related compounds can also be isolated from the culture media.
