Pseudomonas stutzeri

Description and Significance

Description of the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why it is important.

Genome Structure

Description of 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.

1-3um by 0.5um. Rod-shaped, usually with one flagellum

They are denitrifiers. (let's go into what that means)
