Pseudomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Pseudomonadaceae in the class Gammaproteobacteria. The 313 members of the genus^[2][3] demonstrate a great deal of metabolic diversity and consequently are able to colonize a wide range of niches.^[4] Their ease of culture in vitro and availability of an increasing number of Pseudomonas strain genome sequences has made the genus an excellent focus for scientific research; the best studied species include P. aeruginosa in its role as an opportunistic human pathogen, the plant pathogen P. syringae, the soil bacterium P. putida, and the plant growth-promoting P. fluorescens, P. lini, P. migulae, and P. graminis.^[5][6]

Because of their widespread occurrence in water and plant seeds such as

Recently, 16S rRNA sequence analysis has redefined the taxonomy of many bacterial species.^[11] As a result, the genus Pseudomonas includes strains formerly classified in the genera Chryseomonas and Flavimonas.^[12] Other strains previously classified in the genus Pseudomonas are now classified in the genera Burkholderia and Ralstonia.^[13][14]

In 2020, a phylogenomic analysis of 494 complete Pseudomonas genomes identified two well-defined species (P. aeruginosa and P. chlororaphis) and four wider phylogenetic groups (P. fluorescens, P. stutzeri, P. syringae, P. putida) with a sufficient number of available proteomes.^[15] The four wider evolutionary groups include more than one species, based on species definition by the Average Nucleotide Identity levels.^[16] In addition, the phylogenomic analysis identified several strains that were mis-annotated to the wrong species or evolutionary group.^[15] This mis-annotation problem has been reported by other analyses as well.^[17]

Genomics

In 2000, the complete

By 2016, more than 400 strains of Pseudomonas had been sequenced.[18] Sequencing the genomes of hundreds of strains revealed highly divergent species within the genus. In fact, many genomes of Pseudomonas share only 50-60% of their genes, e.g. P. aeruginosa and P. putida share only 2971 proteins out of 5350 (or ~55%).^[18]

By 2020, more than 500 complete Pseudomonas genomes were available in Genebank. A phylogenomic analysis utilized 494 complete proteomes and identified 297 core orthologues, shared by all strains.^[15] This set of core orthologues at the genus level was enriched for proteins involved in metabolism, translation, and transcription and was utilized for generating a phylogenomic tree of the entire genus, to delineate the relationships among the Pseudomonas major evolutionary groups.^[15] In addition, group-specific core proteins were identified for most evolutionary groups, meaning that they were present in all members of the specific group, but absent in other pseudomonads. For example, several P. aeruginosa-specific core proteins were identified that are known to play an important role in this species' pathogenicity, such as CntL, CntM, PlcB, Acp1, MucE, SrfA, Tse1, Tsi2, Tse3, and EsrC.^[15]

Characteristics

Members of the genus display these defining characteristics:^[19]

• Rod-shaped
• Gram-negative
• Flagellum one or more, providing motility
• Aerobic
• Non-spore forming
• Catalase-positive
• Oxidase-variable

Other characteristics that tend to be associated with Pseudomonas species (with some exceptions) include secretion of

Pseudomonas may be the most common nucleator of ice crystals in clouds, thereby being of utmost importance to the formation of snow and rain around the world.[23]

Biofilm formation

All

Most Pseudomonas spp. are naturally resistant to penicillin and the majority of related beta-lactam antibiotics, but a number are sensitive to piperacillin, imipenem, ticarcillin, or ciprofloxacin.^[25] Aminoglycosides such as tobramycin, gentamicin, and amikacin are other choices for therapy.^{[citation needed]}

This ability to thrive in harsh conditions is a result of their hardy

Sensitivity to gallium

Although gallium has no natural function in biology, gallium ions interact with cellular processes in a manner similar to iron(III). When gallium ions are mistakenly taken up in place of iron(III) by bacteria such as Pseudomonas, the ions interfere with respiration, and the bacteria die. This happens because iron is redox-active, allowing the transfer of electrons during respiration, while gallium is redox-inactive.^[28][29]

Pathogenicity

Animal pathogens

Main article: Pseudomonas infection

Infectious species include

nosocomial infections).^[30] This pathogenesis may in part be due to the proteins secreted by P. aeruginosa. The bacterium possesses a wide range of secretion systems, which export numerous proteins relevant to the pathogenesis of clinical strains.^[31] Intriguingly, several genes involved in the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa, such as CntL, CntM, PlcB, Acp1, MucE, SrfA, Tse1, Tsi2, Tse3, and EsrC are core group-specific,^[15]

meaning that they are shared by the vast majority of P. aeruginosa strains, but they are not present in other Pseudomonads.

Plant pathogens

P. syringae is a prolific

plant pathogen. It exists as over 50 different pathovars, many of which demonstrate a high degree of host-plant specificity. Numerous other Pseudomonas species can act as plant pathogens, notably all of the other members of the P. syringae subgroup, but P. syringae is the most widespread and best-studied.^{[citation needed}

Fungus pathogens

mushrooms.^[32] Similarly, P. agarici can cause drippy gill in cultivated mushrooms.^[33]

Use as biocontrol agents

Since the mid-1980s, certain members of the genus Pseudomonas have been applied to cereal seeds or applied directly to soils as a way of preventing the growth or establishment of crop pathogens. This practice is generically referred to as

biocontrol. The biocontrol properties of P. fluorescens and P. protegens strains (CHA0 or Pf-5 for example) are currently best-understood, although it is not clear exactly how the plant growth-promoting properties of P. fluorescens are achieved. Theories include: the bacteria might induce systemic resistance in the host plant, so it can better resist attack by a true pathogen; the bacteria might outcompete other (pathogenic) soil microbes, e.g. by siderophores giving a competitive advantage at scavenging for iron; the bacteria might produce compounds antagonistic to other soil microbes, such as phenazine-type antibiotics or hydrogen cyanide. Experimental evidence supports all of these theories.^[34]

Other notable Pseudomonas species with biocontrol properties include

Gram-positive organisms.^[36]

Use as bioremediation agents

Some members of the genus are able to metabolise chemical pollutants in the environment, and as a result, can be used for bioremediation. Notable species demonstrated as suitable for use as bioremediation agents include:

• P. alcaligenes, which can degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.^[37]
• P. mendocina, which is able to degrade toluene.^[38]
• P. pseudoalcaligenes, which is able to use cyanide as a nitrogen source.^[39]
• P. resinovorans, which can degrade carbazole.^[40]
• P. aeruginosa, P. putida, P. desmolyticum, and P. nitroreducens can degrade chlorpyrifos.^[41]
• aromatic organic compounds.^[42][43]
• P. putida, which has the ability to degrade organic solvents such as toluene.^[44] At least one strain of this bacterium is able to convert morphine in aqueous solution into the stronger and somewhat expensive to manufacture drug hydromorphone (Dilaudid).
• Strain KC of P. stutzeri, which is able to degrade carbon tetrachloride.^[45]

Risks associated with pseudomonas

Pseudomonas is a genus of bacteria known to be associated with several diseases affecting humans, plants, and animals.

Humans & Animals

One of the most concerning strains of Pseudomonas is

blood poisoning, and urinary tract infections.^[46] Pseudomonas aeruginosa is highly contagious and has displayed resistance to antibiotic treatments, making it difficult to manage effectively. Some strains of Pseudomonas are known to target white blood cells in various mammal species, posing risks to humans, cattle, sheep, and dogs alike.^[47]

Fish

While Pseudomonas aeruginosa seems to be a pathogen that primarily affects humans, another strain known as Pseudomonas plecoglossicida poses risks to fish. This strain can cause gastric swelling and haemorrhaging in fish populations.^[47]

Plants & Fungi

Various strains of Pseudomonas are recognized as pathogens in the plant kingdom. Notably, the Pseudomonas syringae family is linked to diseases affecting a wide range of agricultural plants, with different strains showing adaptations to specific host species. In particular, the virulent strain Pseudomonas tolaasii is responsible for causing blight and degradation in edible mushroom species.^[47]

Detection of food spoilage agents in milk

One way of identifying and categorizing multiple bacterial organisms in a sample is to use ribotyping.

P. fluorescens, with 69% of these isolates possessing proteases, lipases, and lecithinases which contribute to degradation of milk components and subsequent spoilage.^[49] Other Pseudomonas species can possess any one of the proteases, lipases, or lecithinases, or none at all.^[49] Similar enzymatic activity is performed by Pseudomonas of the same ribotype, with each ribotype showing various degrees of milk spoilage and effects on flavour.^[49] The number of bacteria affects the intensity of spoilage, with non-enzymatic Pseudomonas species contributing to spoilage in high number.^[49]

Food spoilage is detrimental to the food industry due to production of volatile compounds from organisms metabolizing the various nutrients found in the food product.

P. fluorescens and P. aureofaciens.^[51]

Species previously classified in the genus

Recently, 16S rRNA sequence analysis redefined the taxonomy of many bacterial species previously classified as being in the genus Pseudomonas.^[11] Species removed from Pseudomonas are listed below; clicking on a species will show its new classification. The term 'pseudomonad' does not apply strictly to just the genus Pseudomonas, and can be used to also include previous members such as the genera Burkholderia and Ralstonia.

α proteobacteria:

P. rosea, P. vesicularis

.

β proteobacteria:

P. rubrilineans, P. rubrisubalbicans, P. saccharophila, P. solanacearum, P. spinosa, P. syzygii, P. taeniospiralis, P. terrigena, P. testosteroni

.

γ-β proteobacteria: P. boreopolis, P. cissicola, P. geniculata, P. hibiscicola, P. maltophilia, P. pictorum.

γ proteobacteria:

P. marinus, P. halophila, P. iners, P. marina, P. nautica, P. nigrifaciens, P. pavonacea,^[60] P. piscicida, P. stanieri

.

δ proteobacteria: P. formicans.

Phylogenetics

The following relationships between genomic affinity groups have been determined by phylogenetic analysis:^[61][62]

Pseudomonas Pseudomonas fluorescens group Pseudomonas syringae group Pseudomonas lutea group Pseudomonas putida group Pseudomonas rhizosphaerae group Pseudomonas massiliensis group Pseudomonas anguilliseptica group Pseudomonas straminea group Pseudomonas oleovorans group Pseudomonas fluvialis Pseudomonas alcaligenes Pseudomonas pohangensis group Pseudomonas linyingensis group Pseudomonas flexibilis Pseudomonas thermotolerans Pseudomonas stutzeri group Pseudomonas matsuisoli Pseudomonas kuykendallii Pseudomonas indica Pseudomonas resinivorans group Pseudomonas aeruginosa group Pseudomonas oryzihabitans group Halopseudomonas (formerly the P. pertucinogena group) Cellvibrio japonicus (outgroup)

Bacteriophages

There are a number of bacteriophages that infect Pseudomonas, e.g.

• Pseudomonas phage Φ6
• Pseudomonas phage ΦCTX
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage EL^[63]
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage ΦKMV (a Phikmvvirus)^[64]
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage LKD16 (a Phikmvvirus)^[65]
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage LKA1 (a Phikmvvirus)^[65]
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage LUZ19 (a Phikmvvirus)
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage ΦKZ^[63]
• Pseudomonas putida phage gh-1^[66]

Footnotes

1. pyoverdin, a fluorescent siderophore.^{[4][page needed}
   ] The latter term, fluorescent pseudomonad, is distinct from the term P. fluorescens group, which is used to distinguish a subset of members of the Pseudomonas sensu stricto and not as a whole
