Description and Significance
Pseudoxanthomonas winnipegensis is a gram negative bacteria. This species obtains the bacillus shape and has a yellowish pigment. Pseudoxanthomonas winnipegensis was derived water, plants or contaminated soils. Recent studies recovered the bacteria from human clinical materials and was recently recovered from cystic fibrosis patients. Until recently, Pseudoxanthomonas species were only identifiable at the genus level. New gene sequencing improvements have allowed for the identification of species within the genus.
Genome Structure
Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
