|
| Gram
Stain: |
Pseudomonas
stutzeri is Gram stain negative. |
| Respiration: |
Pseudomonas
stutzeri is aerobic. |
| Motility: |
Pseudomonas
stutzeri is motile. |
| Taxonomic lineage: |
Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pseudomonadales;
Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonas; Pseudomonas stutzeri group |
| Industrial uses or economic implications: |
| Pseudomonas
stutzeri can degrade carbon tetrachloride (used in
some dry-cleaning) to carbon dioxide and other inert compounds,
as where other organisms that can degrade carbon tetrachloride
produce chloroform. Pseudomonas stutzeri is also
being investigated for biodegradation of phenanthrene
and other toxic organic chemicals. |
| Miscellaneous: |
Pseudomonas stutzeri strain KC was the first
field scale demonstration of bioremediation. Pseudomonas stutzeri was used
in an accident where approximately 25 gallons of carbon
tetrachloride were dumped into an aquifer in School Craft,
Michigan. |
