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.

LUTEIMONAS MARINA

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Luteimonas
Species:	Luteimonas marina
Description:	Cells are Gram-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated, rod-shaped,0.5–0.6μm in width and about 1.4–2.0μm in length. Cells grow on TSA, NA and MA, but not on MacConkey agar.Colonies on TSA at 30°C (pH 7) are light yellow, circular,convex, smooth, opaque, with entire edges and approximately 1.5–2.0 mm in diameter after 4 days incubation.Growth occurs at 20–42°C (optimum, 30°C), but not at 45°C.
