PSEUDOMONAS RHIZOSPHAERAE

Class: Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus: Pseudomonas
Species: Pseudomonas rhizosphaerae
Description: Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped cells, 1.2–2.4μm in length and 0.8–0.9μm in diameter. Motile with one polar flagellum. Colonies on YED agar are circular, convex, yellow, weakly translucent and usually 1–2 mm in diameter after 2 days growth at 28°C.Strain IH5T is able to oxidize glucose in medium that contains ammonium nitrate as the nitrogen source and neutral red as a pH indicator, but is unable to ferment glucose in the same medium.
