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.

PERLUCIDIBACA PISCINAE

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Perlucidibaca
Species:	Perlucidibaca piscinae
Description:	Cells in the exponential phase are short rods, 0.7–1.2μm long and 0.5–0.7μm wide. Colonies on R2A agar are circular, convex, smooth, butyrous and transparent with an entire margin. Colony size is 0.5–1.0 mm after incubation on R2A at 30°C for 5 days. Grows at 8–37°C (optimally at 30°C), but not at 4 and 42°C.
