Description and Significance

Pseudomonas lalkuanensis 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

The G+C content in the genome was 64.24 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain PE08T and its closely related type strain, P. resinovorans DSM 21078T were below 34.8 % and 87.96 %, respectively. The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 :  1ω7c and/or C18 :1 ω6c), summed feature 3 (C16 :  1ω7c and/or C16 :  1ω6c), C16 : 0 and C12 : 0. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine.


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.
