Did you ever research about a bacterium that has appearently almost never been studied in detail? Like for example Pseudomonas Mendocina S178S (JF513150). There is no trace of it in the literature!
What would you do if you wanted to know about its habitat, growth conditions, pathogenesis and competitive behaviour? Would you relate to literature about the whole species or do you think that would be inaccurate?
Thank you a lot!!
Dear Alice,
You have made your microbe very very specific with the strain number 'S178S (JF513150)'. I googled the name of the microbe Pseudomonas mendocina and found some literature (old as well as current) on it. Since the species (mendocina) of the genus (Pseudomonas) is studied and reported in those literature you can have some clear idea on growth conditions if you compare the conditions used in different literature. In my opinion you can easily check it is working with your specific strain or not. For habitat and pathogenesis, exceptions and variations will always be there though. The competitive behaviour can only be assessed if it is grown with another microbe with similar nutrient requirement. I am listing the links of the literature I found for you, but think you will find more of them if you search further (in Sciencedirect, Google Scholar etc.).

Alice,
The strain is S178S. JF513150 is the accession number for its 16S in the NCBI.
Based on the info from NCBI I could locate its original source in this thesis as ASFPXI S178S.
