Planococcus columbae Details: NCBI 326078, low G+C gram-positive [species]

| DSM 17517| MTCC 7251| Planococcus columbae| Planococcus columbae Suresh et al. 2007| strain PgEx11

1. Plant Pest: Planococcus columbae, like other species in the Planococcus genus, is known as a scale insect that infests a variety of plants. Scale insects can damage plants by feeding on their sap, which may result in weakened or stunted growth, yellowing of leaves, and even death of the plant in severe infestations.

2. Agricultural and Horticultural Impact: In agricultural and horticultural settings, Planococcus columbae can be considered a pest because of its potential to damage crops and ornamental plants. Control measures may be implemented to manage infestations and protect plant health.

3. Limited Human Health Concerns: While Planococcus columbae is primarily a concern for plants, it is important to note that scale insects are not generally known for causing direct health impacts on humans. However, individuals working closely with infested plants may experience skin irritation due to contact with insect secretions or other plant-related factors.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Planococcus columbae

• Frequency - how often do samples show this bacteria
• UD - An alternative statistical algorithm (which factors in the frequency)
• Kaltoft-Moldrup Heuristic Using uploaded data
• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 2 Standard Deviation to Mean + 2 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples (Patent Pending)
