NCBI: Taxonomy |
Genus species
Aerobic, gram-negative rods that are motile by polar flagella, either single or tufts. P. aeruginosa produces a soluble, blue green pigmentation. Under certain conditions, particularly in weakened hosts, this organism can infect the urinary tract, burns, and wounds, and can cause sepsis, abscesses, and meningitis.
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.
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?
