P. fluorescens, a Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacterium (PGPR), is an important bacteria found in soil, leaves and water that produces metabolites that allow plants to resist biotic and abiotic stresses. Hence, the release of DMP as waste into the environment should be more carefully considered.
Given P. fluorescens' role in promoting plant health by producing compounds that counter environmental stresses, the release of DMP into the environment warrants more careful consideration to avoid potential ecological consequences.
