Pseudomonas azotifigens is a Gram-negative, nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from a compost pile in Japan. [1]
Compost is organic matter that has been broken down into simpler organic or inorganic matter in a process called composting. This process recycles various organic materials otherwise regarded as waste products and produces a soil conditioner.
Nitrosomonas is a genus comprising Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and chemoautotrophic bacteria.
Pseudomonas lini is a fluorescent, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from rhizospheric soil in France. The type strain is CFBP 5737, though there are also eight other strains known. This bacterium has also been isolated from endophytic tissues of lodgepole pine trees growing on gravel mining sites with potential to perform biological nitrogen fixation and plant growth promotion.
Pseudomonas migulae is a fluorescent, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from natural mineral waters in France. This bacterium has also been isolated from endophytic tissues of lodgepole pine trees growing on gravel mining sites with potential to perform biological nitrogen fixation and plant growth promotion. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. migulae has been placed in the P. fluorescens group.
Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that is motile, has a single polar flagellum, and is classified as bacillus, or rod-shaped. While this bacterium was first isolated from human spinal fluid, it has since been found in many different environments due to its various characteristics and metabolic capabilities. P. stutzeri is an opportunistic pathogen in clinical settings, although infections are rare. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, this bacterium has been placed in the P. stutzeri group, to which it lends its name.
Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes is an aerobic, Gram-negative soil bacterium that was first isolated from swimming pool water. It can also be found in cutting fluid. It is able to use cyanide as a nitrogen source, and as a result, it may be used for bioremediation. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. pseudoalcaligenes has been placed in the P. aeruginosa group.
In bacteriology, a taxon in disguise is a species, genus or higher unit of biological classification whose evolutionary history reveals has evolved from another unit of a similar or lower rank, making the parent unit paraphyletic. That happens when rapid evolution makes a new species appear so radically different from the ancestral group that it is not (initially) recognised as belonging to the parent phylogenetic group, which is left as an evolutionary grade.
Herbaspirillum lusitanum is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium found in root nodules of common beans. Phylogenetic analyses have shown this bacterium belongs to the genus Herbaspirillum. H. lusitanum lacks the nif gene. A nodD-like gene is present, but no other nod genes have been identified. The lack of nif and nod genes suggests H. lusitanum is an opportunistic bacterium capable of colonizing root nodules, but is unable to fix nitrogen.
Derxia is a genus of Gram-negative, nitrogen-fixing bacteria from the family of Alcaligenaceae.
Derxia lacustris is a Gram-negative, nitrogen-fixing, aerobic, motile bacterium of the genus Derxia, isolated from a freshwater lake in Taiwan.
Zoogloea oryzae is a nitrogen-fixing, catalase and oxidase-positiv, motile bacterium with a polar flagellum from the genus of Zoogloea which was isolated from the soil from a rice paddy field.
Microvirga vignae is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria from the genus of Microvirga which has been isolated from the Brazilian Semiarid region.
Pleomorphomonas diazotrophica is a Gram-negative, aerobic, pleomorphic and nitrogen-fixing bacterium species from the genus of Pleomorphomonas which has been isolated from root tissue of the plant Jatropha curcas at the agrotechnology experimental station in Singapore.
Pleomorphomonas oryzae is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium species from the genus of Pleomorphomonas which has been isolated from the rice plant Oryza sativa in Japan.
Sphingomonas azotifigens is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from the root of a rice plant in Mishima in Japan.
Azospirillum is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic, non-fermentative and nitrogen-fixing bacterial genus from the family of Rhodospirillaceae. Azospirillum bacteria can promote plant growth.
Bradyrhizobium ottawaense is a nitrogen fixing bacterium from the genus of Bradyrhizobium which has been isolated from the nodules of soybeans in Ottawa in Canada.
Bradyrhizobium kavangense is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium from the genus of Bradyrhizobium which has been isolated from the nodules of the cowpea Vigna unguiculata in the Kavango region in Namibia.
Bradyrhizobium subterraneum is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium from the genus of Bradyrhizobium which has been isolated from the effective nodules of the peanut Arachis hypogaea.
Marinobacterium mangrovicola is a nitrogen-fixing, Gram-negative and motile bacterium from the genus of Marinobacterium which has been isolated from the roots of the mangrove Rhizophora mangle from an aquarium in Germany.
