Summary. An interim determinative scheme for phytopathogenic Pseudomonas spp. by a variety of cultural and biochemical tests was suggested by Lelliott, Billing & Hayward (1966) following the study of 156 green fluorescent phytopathogenic pseudomonads. The phage sensitivity of these and 80 additional cultures to 20 phages from a variety of sources are described. Information on the morphology of these phages is now available (Bradley, 1963 a ). A few nutritional tests which seem to be of diagnostic value at the species level are also included and a relationship between the presence of a heat stable antigen (Lovrekovich et al. , 1963) and phage sensitivity patterns is discussed.
