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.

MICROBULBIFER DONGHAIENSIS

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Microbulbifer
Species:	Microbulbifer donghaiensis
Description:	Cells are Gram-negative and rod-shaped (0.3–0.4 x 2.5– 4.0μm). Colonies on marine agar 2216 are 1–2 mm in diameter, circular, convex and light yellow in colour after 24 h at 35°C. No growth occurs in the absence of salt. Growth occurs at NaCl concentrations of 0.5–6.0 % (w/v),with optimum growth at 3.0 %.
