Pseudomonas putida strain UASWS0946

Pseudomonas putida strain UASWS0946 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in soil and wastewater environments. As a heterotroph, it derives energy from organic compounds, making it well-suited for nutrient-rich habitats. This bacterium is facultatively anaerobic, allowing it to adapt to varying oxygen levels. It exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella and typically exists as single cells. In terms of genetic structure, Pseudomonas putida strain UASWS0946 possesses one replicon and has a characteristic double-membrane architecture. It has been noted for its potential to engage in free-living biotic relationships, interacting with a diverse array of hosts, including various plants such as Triticum aestivum (wheat), Solanum lycopersicum (tomato), and Oryza sativa (rice), as well as algae like Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Chlorella vulgaris. Additionally, it is associated with animal hosts, including Homo sapiens and Struthio camelus (ostrich). While Pseudomonas putida strain UASWS0946 is primarily known for its environmental roles, it has been implicated in nosocomial infections, indicating a pathogenic capacity in animal hosts. Its mesophilic temperature range supports its adaptability to common environmental temperatures, further enhancing its ecological versatility. The strain's ability to engage with a wide variety of organisms emphasizes its potential role in microbial ecology, nutrient cycling, and the dynamics of soil and wastewater ecosystems.
