Gamma Proteobacteria

The most diverse class of gram-negative bacteria is Gammaproteobacteria, and it includes a number of human pathogens. For example, a large and diverse family, Pseudomonaceae, includes the genus Pseudomonas. Within this genus is the species P. aeruginosa, a pathogen responsible for diverse infections in various regions of the body.

P. aeruginosa is a strictly aerobic, nonfermenting, highly motile bacterium. It often infects wounds and burns, can be the cause of chronic urinary tract infections, and can be an important cause of respiratory infections in patients with cystic fibrosis or patients on mechanical ventilators. Infections by P. aeruginosa are often difficult to treat because the bacterium is resistant to many antibiotics and has a remarkable ability to form biofilms.

IDIOMARINA PISCISALSI

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Idiomarina
Species:	Idiomarina piscisalsi
Description:	Cells are Gram-negative, aerobic, non-endosporeforming, slightly curved rods approximately 0.3‒0.4 µm in width and 1.2‒2 µm in length. Colonies are circular, convex, opaque and pale yellow. Motile by a singlepolar flagellum. Growth occurs within the pH range 6‒9 (optimally at pH 8), at 25‒45°C (optimally at 30‒37°C) and in 3‒25% (w/v) NaCl (optimally in 10‒15%, w/v NaCl) but no growth in the absence of NaCl.
