<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> is a gram-negative species of bacilli shaped bacteria. The genome consists of a rather large, single circular chromosome spanning 5.5-7 Mbp, with an additional variety of plasmids at its disposal (Lee et al., 2006; Klockgether et al.,  2011). Both the genome and the plasmids found in this species exist for the benefit of its survival and proliferation in its given environment. With a reputation for being one of the most adaptable and resilient types of bacteria, P. aeruginosa possesses a genome that tends to be larger than most other species of bacteria that have been sequenced so far, and for a good reason: P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic species, and fairs well in a multitude of different environments such as soil, water, plants, animals as well as being one of the top 3 causes of opportunistic human infection (Römling, 1997; Stover et al., 2000).
