Pseudomonas denitrificans
Introduction
Pseudomonas denitrificans is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium that performs denitrification. It was first isolated from garden soil in Vienna, Austria. It synthesizes vitamin B12[1]. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. denitrificans has been placed in the P. pertucinogena group[2].
