Abstract Fluorescent Pseudomonas sp. strain 267 promotes growth of nodulated clover plants under gnotobiotic conditions. In the growth conditions (60 μM FeCl3), the production of siderophores of the pseudobactin-pyoverdin group was repressed. Plant growth enhancement results from secretion of B vitamins by Pseudomonas sp. strain 267. This was proven by stimulation of clover growth by naturally auxotrophic strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii and marker strains E. coli thi- and R. meliloti pan- in the presence of the supernatant of Pseudomonas sp. strain 267. The addition of vitamins to the plant medium increased symbiotic nitrogen fixation by the clover plants.
