PSEUDOMONAS COMPOSTI

Class: Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus: Pseudomonas
Species: Pseudomonas composti
Description: Gram-negative and non-spore-forming rods (0.4–0.5μm wide and 1.5–2μm long). Catalase- and oxidase-positive, strictly aerobic and motile by a single polar flagellum. Colonies on Columbia blood agar are circular, creamy, brilliant and non-haemolytic. Colonies on LB agar are round, yellow and smooth with irregular edges (1.5–2 mm in diameter).Grows at 4–37°C and with 6.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Fluorescent pigment is not produced on King’s B medium. Grows on MacConkey agar.
