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 TERRICOLA

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Luteimonas
Species:	Luteimonas terricola
Description:	Cells are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile and rod-shaped (0.6–0.8 x 1.8–2.2μm in R2A medium). Colonies on R2A agar are light yellow, round,convex, opaque and smooth with entire margins, approx.1–1.5 mm in diameter. Growth occurs in R2A medium at 1–25°C, with the highest cell yields at 10–15°C and the fastest growth at 25°C; growth on R2A agar at 1°C is very weak.
