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.

PHOTOBACTERIUM GALATHEAE

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Photobacterium
Species:	Photobacterium galatheae
Description:	Cells are motile rods, 1.6–3.0μm long and 0.74–1.2μm wide, with polar flagella 2.5–6.9μm in length. Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic and occur mainly as single cells. When grown on MA 2216 at 25°C, colonies are irregular in shape and size, depending on the biomass and swarming levels.
Synonyms:
Source:	The type strain was isolated from the surface of a mussel in the Solomon Sea, Solomon Islands.
