Summary Bacteria of the genus P seudomonas are becoming increasing well known for their ability to produce a wide range of antimicrobial compounds. In a large‐scale screening for antibiotic producers, we identified a soil isolate that uses 4‐hydroxyphenylacetate as the sole carbon source, P seudomonas sp. strain 250 J , which produces cyclic lipodepsipeptides of the xantholysin family during the stationary phase of growth. The closest relatives of this strain are P seudomonas mosselii , P seudomonas soli and P seudomonas entomophila . Sequencing of the 250 J genome allowed us to find the genes relevant to antibiotic production, those which allow utilization of 4‐hydroxyphenylacetate as a sole carbon source and a set of genes potentially involved in biocontrol.
