A biologically pure culture of Pseudomonas syringae having the identifying characteristics of the deposited strain designated as ATCC 55389 is disclosed. A composition for inhibiting microbial decay on fruit is disclosed, the composition including a strain of Pseudomonas syringae having the identifying characteristics of the deposited strain designated as ATCC 55389 and a carrier. The composition has a concentration of the strain in the carrier which is sufficient to significantly inhibit microbial decay on the fruit. Additionally, a method for inhibiting microbial decay on fruit is disclosed including the step of exposing the fruit to a composition which includes a sufficient concentration of a strain of Pseudomonas syringae having the characteristics of the deposited strain as ATCC 55389 to significantly inhibit microbial decay.
A biologically pure culture of a strain of Pseudomonas syringae having all the identifying characteristics of the deposited strain P. syringae ATCC 55389.
A composition for application to fruit to inhibit the microbial decay of fruit, comprising a strain of Pseudomonas syringae having all the identifying characteristics of the deposited strain P. syringae ATCC 55389, and a carrier, said strain having a concentration which is sufficient to inhibit microbial decay of the fruit.
A method for inhibiting microbial decay of fruit comprising the step of exposing the fruit to a composition which comprises a sufficient concentration of a strain of Pseudomonas syringae having all the identifying characteristics of the deposited strain P. syringae ATCC 55389 to inhibit microbial decay.
A method for inhibiting the microbial decay of fruit, comprising the steps of:
