Pseudomonas putida strain 1A00316

Pseudomonas putida strain 1A00316 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in soil and wastewater environments. This strain is a heterotrophic organism, obtaining its energy from organic compounds present in its habitat. It exhibits a facultative oxygen requirement, allowing it to adapt to varying levels of oxygen availability. P. putida 1A00316 features single-cell arrangements and possesses mobility due to the presence of flagella. This strain operates under mesophilic temperature conditions, indicating an optimal growth range typically between 20°C and 45°C. It has a single replicon and two membranes, characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria. Notably, P. putida 1A00316 is free-living, which means it does not rely on a host for survival. However, it has been associated with a variety of hosts, including several plant species such as Triticum aestivum (wheat), Solanum lycopersicum (tomato), and Oryza sativa (rice), as well as some animal species and various algae. Pseudomonas putida has been implicated in nosocomial infections, highlighting its potential pathogenicity in animals. Despite this, its ecological role as a free-living organism suggests that it may contribute to nutrient cycling and soil health, particularly in environments where organic waste is present. This duality of being both a potential pathogen and an important ecological player underscores the complexity of microbial interactions within ecosystems.
