PSEUDOMONAS SIMIAE

Class: Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus: Pseudomonas
Species: Pseudomonas simiae
Description: Gram-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, strictly aerobic and motile rods approximately 1–1.5μm in size.Cells produce a yellow pigment on tryptic soy agar. Colonies on Columbia blood agar are circular, non-pigmented and slightly haemolytic. Temperature range for growth is 4–37°C; optimal growth occurs at 30°C. Growth occurs in the presence of 6.5 % NaCl.
Synonyms:
Source: The type strain was isolated from the liver of a monkey with acute bronchopneumonia and bacteraemia.
