What is it about?
This work examines how temperature (25, 30 and 37 deg C) affects the growth of two common environmental bacterial species, Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PRD-10 in a nutrient rich medium, LB Lennox.

Why is it important?
The data provided important information useful for the cultivation of the two environmental bacteria. Specifically, P. protegens Pf-5 grew well at 25 deg C compared to 37 deg C. On the other hand, P. aeruginosa PRD-10 exhibited growth characteristics that revealed adapation to the temperatures of the environment (25 deg C) and human body (37 deg C).
Perspectives
Data generated provided insights to the specific environmental adaptations of the two environmental bacteria. Specifically, P. protegens Pf-5 did not adapt to growth in the human body and remained tuned to growth under environmental conditions. On the other hand, P. aeruginosa PRD-10 adapted to growth in the environment (25 deg C) and the human body (37 deg C) but not at intermediate temperature of 30 deg C.
