Integrated genomic and mutagenesis analysis of Pseudomonas argentinensis SA190 reveals mechanisms of plant root colonization and stress resilience.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPseudomonas argentinensis SA190 is a desert-adapted, plant-associated bacterium with demonstrated potential to enhance plant growth under abiotic stress. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genomic and functional characterization of SA190 to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying its biofilm formation, root colonization, and plant growth-promoting traits.
resultsThe SA190 genome consists of a single circular chromosome (5.07 Mb, 64% GC) encoding 4561 predicted ORFs. Functional annotation revealed genes related to phosphate solubilization (pqq operon), antifungal activity, and stress mitigation, including ACC deaminase. AntiSMASH analysis identified eight biosynthetic gene clusters linked to secondary metabolite production, including siderophores, terpenes, and β-lactones. Metabolic profiling demonstrated selective utilization of root exudate-associated sugars, consistent with rhizosphere adaptation. By a Tn5 transposon mutagenesis approach, we identified key regulators required for biofilm formation. Biofilm mutants deficient in wspC, rpoE, and fliD were differentially compromised in plant colonization and plant growth promotion under ambient and/or drought conditions.
conclusionOur study suggests that SA190 is a metabolically streamlined yet ecologically versatile PGPB and provides functional insights into its potential application as a bioinoculant for sustainable agriculture in arid environments.
