  The antibiotic-producing bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens, is assumed to be important in protecting plants from soilborne diseases. S. fluorescens S272, a hyper-producing strain of pyoluteorin (PT) and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DG), had previously been isolated from soil. The present paper reported that the growth of water-cultivated Kaiware radish was promoted to 120-140% of its normal level by the coaddition of an S272 culture broth (0.01-1% v/v) and a polysaccharide flocculant (1-100 ppm) from Klebsiella pneumoniae H12. Tight adhesion of S272 cells to the root tissue was microscopically observed. The growth promotion is assumed to have been caused by antibiotic effects for the following two reasons: 1) PT (4 mg/l) and DG (24 mg/l) addition to a radish culture enhanced stem growth to 130% of the normal level; 2) a culture solution containing the S272 culture broth (0.01-1% v/v) markedly inhibited the decomposition of hypersensitive chrysanthemum leaves. A soil-cultivation experiment with Gomphrena globosa under natural conditions also exhibited enhanced stem length (160%) by coaddition of the S272 culture broth and H12 polysaccharide. These results suggest that polysaccharide-enhanced adhesion of P. fluorescens S272 cells might be useful for promoting plant growth through the increased antibiotic effect.<br>
