Taxonomy of the aerobic pseudomonads: the properties of the Pseudomonas stutzeri group.

چکیده
Strains of Pseudomonas stutzeri and related denitrifying bacteria were compared in their phenotypic properties and mean deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) base composition. On the basis of this comparison and of in vitro DNA hybridization experiments, it was concluded that, using practical diagnostic tests, no more than two nomenspecies can be recognized within the group. One, P. stutzeri, was extremely variable in phenotypic characteristics and in DNA base composition; we included in it the strains previously assigned to P. stanieri. The other was a new species, P. rnendocina Palleroni, which was more homogeneous in phenotypic characters, and in DNA base composition and homology. The comparative properties of known denitrifying pseudomonads are tabulated.

Isolation and Characterization of Melanin Producing Pseudomonas stutzeri Strain UIS2 in the Presence of l-tyrosine and Survey of Biological Properties of Its Melanin
Background: Melanin is a negative charge hydrophobic complex pigment. Melanin is produced naturally in bacteria to protect them against UV, free radicals and environmental stresses. Pigment production in bacteria has more advantages than other biosources due to its rapid growth, higher efficiency and easier extraction. The aim of this study was the isolation, biochemical and molecular identific...
متن کاملBiology of Pseudomonas stutzeri.
Pseudomonas stutzeri is a nonfluorescent denitrifying bacterium widely distributed in the environment, and it has also been isolated as an opportunistic pathogen from humans. Over the past 15 years, much progress has been made in elucidating the taxonomy of this diverse taxonomical group, demonstrating the clonality of its populations. The species has received much attention because of its part...
متن کاملPseudomonas sp. strain KC represents a new genomovar within Pseudomonas stutzeri.
Pseudomonas sp. strain KC (= ATCC 55595 = DSM 7136) is a denitrifying aquifer isolate that produces and secretes pyridine-2,6-bis(thiocarboxylate) (PDTC), a chelating agent that fortuitously transforms carbon tetrachloride without producing chloroform. Although KC has been used successfully for full-scale bioremediation of carbon tetrachloride, its taxonomy has proven difficult to resolve, as i...

Cytochrome c4 was isolated from cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas stutzeri and Azotobacter vinelandii. The dihaem nature, Mr of approx. 20000 and ferrohaem spectra in the region of the aand ,peaks define this family of cytochromes c. The behaviour of the holocytochromes in SDS was atypical, but removal of the haem groups resulted in a normal migration. In all three organisms most of ...
