Here, we report the complete genome sequence for an isolate of Pseudomonas stutzeri that is highly competent for natural transformation. This sequence enables insights into the genetic basis of natural transformation rate variations and provides an additional data point for genomic comparisons across a ubiquitous and highly diverse bacterial species.

The presence of nitrogen fixers within the genus Pseudomonas has been established and so far most isolated strains are phylogenetically affiliated to Pseudomonas stutzeri. A gene ortholog neighborhood analysis of the nitrogen fixation island (NFI) in four diazotrophic P. stutzeri strains and Pseudomonas azotifigens revealed that all are flanked by genes coding for cobalamin synthase (cobS) and ...

To evaluate the effect of two bacterial strains isolated from Artemia cysts and yeast (Candida utilis) on the survival, growth and total biomass production of its larvae, challenge tests were performed with Candida utilis, Pseudomonas stutzeri and Pasteurella haemolityca. In addition, a pathogenic strain of Vibrio alginolyticus was tested for comparative purposes. Pseudomonas stutzeri and Candi...

results analysis by xrd showed 78.1% zno (sized 24 nm), 2.5% zn (sized 44.88 nm) and 4.8% zns (sized 12 nm) produced by p. stutzeri. the nanoparticles showed anti-bacterial activity against some of the gram positive and negative bacteria. in addition, the nanoparticles showed magnetic properties. the best condition for nano zinc production was at ph 7, in the light and at 37 °c. czcc gene with ...

We report on the presence of a functional hydroxyectoine biosynthesis gene cluster, ectABCD-ask, in Pseudomonas stutzeri DSM5190(T) and evaluate the suitability of P. stutzeri DSM5190(T) for hydroxyectoine production. Furthermore, we present information on heterologous de novo production of the compatible solute hydroxyectoine in Escherichia coli. In this host, the P. stutzeri gene cluster rema...

Of 38 pure cultures of microorganisms tested, only one, Pseudomonas stutzeri, was capable of forming dimethylnitrosamine from dimethylamine and nitrite during growth. Resting cells of P. stutzeri, Cryptococcus terreus, Escherichia coli, and Xanthomonas campestris formed dimethylnitrosamine, although no nitrosamine was found in growing cultures of the latter three organisms. No nitrosamine was p...

A protein (NosA) in the outer membrane of Pseudomonas stutzeri that is required for copper to be inserted into N2O reductase has been extracted and purified to homogeneity. The purified protein could form channels in black lipid bilayers. Like N2O reductase, NosA contained copper and was only made anaerobically. In contrast to N2O reductase, its synthesis was repressed by exogenous copper (but ...

A near-complete Pseudomonas stutzeri draft genome was extracted from a coalbed metagenome. The draft genome described herein provides insight into the functional pathways encoded by this bacterium and its potential role in coalbed methane environments.

Pseudomonas stutzeri KF716 (NBRC 110668) utilizes biphenyl as a sole source of carbon and energy and degrades polychlorinated biphenyls. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of a biphenyl-degrading strain of the species P. stutzeri.
