PSEUDOMONAS PSYCHROTOLERANS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Pseudomonas |
| Species: | Pseudomonas psychrotolerans |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods with lightly exaggerated poles, 0.5–0.7 x 1.5–1.8μm. Cells generally occur singly, but sometimes in pairs. Oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Growth occurs under aerobic and microaerobic, but not anaerobic, conditions.Motility is observed by light microscopy. Good growth occurs on PYE agar, TSA, R2A and MacConkey agar, on PYE agar supplemented with 1–5 % (w/v) NaCl and at 4–37°C on PYE agar. No growth occurs at 42°C. On PYE agar, yellow, irregular, leathery, dry, wrinkled colonies form within 48 h, with a diameter of approximately 1–5 mm. After 3–5 days, colonies can be up to 8 mm in diameter. |
