Pseudomonas syringae Increases Water Availability in Leaf Microenvironments via Production of Hygroscopic Syringafactin

The epiphytic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae strain B728a produces the biosurfactant syringafactin, which is hygroscopic. The water-absorbing potential of syringafactin is high. Syringafactin attracts 250% of its weight in water at high relative humidities but is less hygroscopic at lower relative h...
