Pseudomonas lalkuanensis

Description and Significance

Pseudomonas lalkuanensix is a gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive strain, also referred to as PE08. It was first isolated from contaminated soil collected from a paper mill yard in Lalkuan, Uttarakhand, India.

Genome Structure

Pseudomonas lalkuanensis was measured to be 0.25–0.45 µm wide and 0.9–1.8 µm long. Optimum growth is observed to be at 30 °C (range, 5–40 °C), with 1–2 % NaCl (range, 0–3 %) and at pH 7 (range 6–11).

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.
