Pseudomonas genus

The degradation of alkyl benzenes (Hutchins 1991 Evans et al. 1991a,b Altenschmidt and Fuchs 1991). In these studies, some of the organisms referred to the genus Pseudomonas have been transferred to the genus Thauera (Anders et al. 1995). 

A bacterial strain FLB300 that does not belong to the genus Pseudomonas is able to use... 

Russian inventors [95] have isolated a strain from the genus Pseudomonas, namely Pseudomonas sp. 45 strain, from the soil area of a gasoline service station and proved to be useful for BDS applications. 

Several species of the genus Pseudomonas have been isolated that degrade carbazole and its alkyl derivatives and a variety of other microorganisms have been reported to mineralize non-basic nitrogen compounds, including species of Bacillus, Xanthomonas, Burkholderia, Comamonas, Beijerinckia, Mycobacterium, and Serratia [310],... 

In a patent on biological desulfurization [100] of petroleum/coal, only the use of whole cell biocatalysts was claimed. The biocatalysts included microorganisms belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium, Enterobacter, Aeromonas, Bacillus or Corynebacterium. The desulfurization pathway (sulfur-specific vs. destructive) was not specified. The Japanese patents No. JP2071936C and JP7103379B seem to be equivalent patents. 

The most thoroughly investigated representatives are the pyoverdins, also spelled pyoverdines and occasionally named pseudobactins 353), produced by the fluorescent members of the genus Pseudomonas. For reviews see 44, 231) for a detailed... 

A number of papers describe the preparation of glyculosonic acids by bacteria. The genus Pseudomonas is reported to be particularly efficient for the preparation of D-araZh o-2-hexulosonic acid (94), a compound used on the industrial scale for production of isoascorbic acid. Lockwood described the preparation of 94 in good yield by such a strain.279 2-Glyculosonic acids can be degraded to lower aldonic acids by the Ruff procedure. 

Chlorocardin (77) was isolated as a P-lactam antibiotic [74] and exhibits biological activity against bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas in vitro. 

Coal tar creosote components are slowly released from treated wood products by oil exudation, rainwater leaching, and by volatilization of the lighter fractions (Henningsson 1983). USDA (1980) reported that the major components of creosote were not detected in soil samples taken to a depth of 6 inches within 2-24 inches from treated poles, presumably as a result of biotransformation of mobilized components by soil microorganisms. Creosote components released to soils in waste water effluents have been found to be biotransformed by soil microbes under aerobic conditions (Middleton 1984). Bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas isolated from a creosote-contaminated waste site have been reported to degrade creosote-derived quinoline (Bennett et al. 1985). Acclimation to creosote phenolic constituents by soil microorganisms has also been demonstrated (Smith et al. 1985). 

Figure 22) is exemplary. First characterized from beetles of the genus Paederus the subsequent characterization of closely related structures such as theopederin A (67), isolated from a marine sponge fostered the speculation of a common bacterial source for this family of polyketides. " Subsequent studies by Kellner and Piel identified a bacterium from the genus Pseudomonas as the likely source of pederin. Natural product production by symbiotic bacteria has been reviewed by Piel (Chapter 2.14).
