Pseudomonas brassicacearum is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that infects the roots of Brassica napus,{{cite journal |author=Achouak |title=Pseudomonas brassicacearum sp. nov. and Pseudomonas thivervalensis sp. nov., two root-associated bacteria isolated from Brassica napus and Arabidopsis thaliana |series=50 |journal=Int J Syst Evol Microbiol |volume=(Pt 1) |pages=9–18 |date=Jan 2000 |pmid=10826782 |last2=Sutra |first2=L |last3=Heulin |first3=T |last4=Meyer |first4=JM |last5=Fromin |first5=N |last6=Degraeve |first6=S |last7=Christen |first7=R |last8=Gardan |first8=L |doi=10.1099/00207713-50-1-9|display-authors=etal|doi-access=free }} from which it derives its name. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. brassicacearum falls within the P. fluorescens group.Ibid. It has also been shown to have both pathogenic and plant growth-promoting effects on tomato plants.Belimov, et al. Pseudomonas brassicacearum strain Am3 containing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase can show both pathogenic and growth-promoting properties in its interaction with tomato.
