title: Phenotypic heterogeneity of Pseudomonas syringae van Hall.
abstract: The study of phenotypic properties of 108 strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae van Hall isolated from Cherry laurel (50 strains) and various host plants (58 strains) and 53 strains of other pathovars of P. syringae and fluorescent Pseudomonas showed that the majority of the strains (91/108) were clustered in one phenon (phenon 14) containing strains commonly considered as P.s. pv. syringae. The present type strain of P.s. pv. syringae was distantly related to phenon 14. Other pathovars of P. syringae constituted 13 discrete phenons.
