Taxonomy of Pseudomonads: Experimental Approaches

  • Chapter
Pseudomonas

Abstract

Straight or slightly curved rods but not helical, 0.5–1.0 µn in diameter by 1.5–5.0 µn in length. Most of the species do not accumulate granules of poly-β-shydroxybutyrate, but accumulation of poly-hydroxyalkanoates of monomer lengths higher than C4 may occur when growing on alkanes or gluconate. Do not produce prosthecae and are not surrounded by sheaths. No resting stages are known. Gram-negative. Motile by one or several polar flagella; rarely nonmotile. In some species lateral flagella of short wavelength may also be formed. Aerobic, having a strictly respiratory type of metabolism with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor; in some cases nitrate can be used as an alternate electron acceptor, allowing growth to occur anaerobically. Xanthomonadins are not produced. Most, if not all, species fail to grow under acid conditions (pH 4.5 or lower). Most species do not require organic growth factors. Oxidase-positive or negative. Catalase-positive. Chemoorganotrophic. Strains of the species include in their composition the hydroxylated fatty acids 3-0H 10:0 and 12:0, and 2-0H 12:0, and ubiquinone Q-9. Widely distributed in nature. Some species are pathogenic for humans, animals or plants. The mol% G+C content of the DNA is 58–69.
