An ice-nucleating bacterium strain KUIN-1, was isolated from the leaves of field beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Strain KUIN-1 was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens from its taxonomical characteristics. Ice-nucleating activity was obtained when strain KUIN-1 was cultured aerobically in a medium containing Koser citrate broth (pH 7.0) for 24hr at 18.degree. C. The ice-nucleating activity did not appear until the bacterial cell concentration reached 107 to 108/ml. Nucleation at - 3.0.degree. C was detected in suspension (1.8 .times. 109 cells/ml) of cells that had been grown on the medium containing Koser citrate broth. Strain KUIN-1 produced a lower nucleation frequency (i.e. the number of ice nuclei/cell) than did ice-nucleating Pseudomonas syringae No. 31 suspension, particularly at temperatures above - 5.degree. C. The nucleation frequency of strain KUIN-1-suspensions was similar to that obtained for an ice-nucleating Erwinia herbicola No. 26 at -5.degree. C.
