Their ease of culture in vitro and availability of an increasing number of Pseudomonas strain genome sequences has made the genus an excellent focus for scientific research; the best studied species include P. aeruginosa in its role as an opportunistic human pathogen, the plant pathogen P. syringae, the soil bacterium P. putida, and the plant ...
Pseudomonas putida is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, saprophytic soil bacterium. [1] It has a versatile metabolism and is amenable to genetic manipulation, making it a common organism used in research, bioremediation, and synthesis of chemicals and other compounds.
Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that is motile, has a single polar flagellum, and is classified as bacillus, or rod-shaped. [1] [2] While this bacterium was first isolated from human spinal fluid, [3] it has since been found in many different environments due to its various characteristics and metabolic capabilities. [4]
Pseudomonas fluorescens has multiple flagella, an extremely versatile metabolism, and can be found in the soil and in water.It is an obligate aerobe, but certain strains are capable of using nitrate instead of oxygen as a final electron acceptor during cellular respiration.
Pseudomonas entomophila is a strain of bacterium that lives in the soil and can infect insects.
Pseudomonas is also a common cause of postoperative infection in radial keratotomy surgery patients. The organism is also associated with the skin lesion ecthyma gangrenosum . P. aeruginosa is frequently associated with osteomyelitis involving puncture wounds of the foot, believed to result from direct inoculation with P. aeruginosa via the ...
Pseudomonas cichorii is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that is pathogenic to plants. It has a wide host range, and can have an important economical impact on lettuce , celery and chrysanthemum crops. [ 3 ]
Pseudomonas [ edit ] The bacterial genus Pseudomonas includes the opportunistic human pathogen P. aeruginosa , plant pathogenic bacteria, plant beneficial bacteria, ubiquitous soil bacteria with bioremediation capabilities and other species that cause spoilage of milk and dairy products.
