Laboratory assay demonstrates pyocin sensitivity strictly in fluorescent pseudomonads, indicating species-specific antimicrobial targeting.

To determine the susceptibility profiles of different Pseudomonas species to bacteriocins produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Assayed pyocins produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa against multiple Pseudomonas species in vitro.
Sensitivity to Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyocins was restricted exclusively to fluorescent pseudomonads.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, and Pseudomonas fluorescens demonstrated clear susceptibility, while non-fluorescent species remained resistant.

Jones et al. (1974) studied this question.
