Pseudomonas species are highly adaptable, thriving in diverse environments and exhibiting remarkable genetic and metabolic diversity. While some strains are pathogenic, others have significant ecological and industrial applications. Bioinformatics and biochemical analyses, including antibiotic sensitivity testing, revealed that Pseudomonas loganensis sp. nov. can tolerate NaCl concentrations up to 5% and pH ranges between 5 and 9. Antibiogram results corroborated genome data, demonstrating resistance to vancomycin, ampicillin, methicillin, oxacillin, and penicillin G. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA, rpoB, rpoD, and gyrB genes, combined with average nucleotide identity (ANI) comparisons, confirmed P. loganensis sp. nov. as a novel species within the Pseudomonas genus. Genome analysis further revealed the presence of turnerbactin and carotenoid gene clusters. Turnerbactin, known to contribute to nitrogen fixation in plants, highlights the strain's potential as a biofertilizer. Additionally, the carotenoid gene cluster suggests potential applications in industrial carotenoid production. The discovery of a trehalose synthase (treS) gene indicates the capability for one-step conversion of maltose into trehalose, underscoring its potential utility in trehalose production.
