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 PANULIRI

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Photobacterium
Species:	Photobacterium panuliri
Description:	A facultative anaerobe, alkalitolerant, gram-negative marine bacterium. Heterotrophic growth was observed at 15–38 °C and pH 5.5–11. Optimum growth occurred at 28 °C and pH 7.5. It can grow in the presence of 0.5–7 % NaCl (w/v), and the optimal NaCl required for growth was 2–4 %.
