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.

RHEINHEIMERA TILAPIAE

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Rheinheimera
Species:	Rheinheimera tilapiae
Description:	Cells are Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod- shaped, motile by means of a single polar flagellum and chemo-heterotrophic. After 48 h incubation on R2A agar at 25°C, the mean cell size is approximately 0.3–0.8°m in diameter and 0.9–1.8μm in length. Colonies are raised, round and smooth with entire edges.
Synonyms:
Source:	The type strain isolated from a freshwater culture pond in the vicinity of Taitung city, Eastern Taiwan, used for culturing tilapiine cichlid fish ( Tilapia rendalli).
