What is the name of the bacteria that eats plastic?
I think it's Pseudomonas putida
What is an important role of bacteria?
Bacteria are the most abundant organisms in the world. Scientists believe that bacteria helped create the earth's atmosphere. By producing so much life-producing oxygen, bacteria eventually made the atmosphere habitable for all creatures, including humans. Bacteria are importnant to the planet as decomposers of dead organic matter, processors of nitrogen, and makers of medicine
What are the names of the organisms used in Bioremediation?
The organisms used in bioremediation are microorganisms and plants.The usage of plants in bioremediation is called as phytoremediation.Few examples of microorganisms that can be used in bioremediation are:* Pseudomonas putida in degrading the organic solvents such as toluene, * Pseudomonas aeruginosa in degrading oil (very much likely to be used in remediating oil spill) Few examples of microorganisms that can be used in phytoremediation are:* mutants strains of Arabidopsis thaliana is aluminum tolerant * Plants such as Elodea, Myriophyllum sp. and Phaseolus vulgarus are for the removal of TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene).Regards,Chicken-egg ^.^
What test will differentiate between Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa?
This is a bit tricky. Both Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are Gram-negative and rod-shaped. According to Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, Proteus vulgaris tests positive for sulfur reduction, urease production, tryptophan deaminase production, and indole production. Pseudomonas aeruginosa reduces sulfur and nitrate, and has a characteristic green color. The API 20E Identification System is a test strip that can be used to identify Proteus vulgaris versus other bacteria.An even easier way to test this is the gelatinase test.Or, slant the bacteria on a Triple Sugar Iron slant or place them in a SIM agar deep. P. vulgaris tests positive for Hydrogen Sulfide production, changing the media to a black color around the organism, while P. aeruginosa does not produce Hydrogen Sulfide.
Are microbes helpful or harmful?
will you be my freindMicrobes are not necessarily dangerous. You have trillions of them on your body, and in your digestive tract all the time and all of them are harmless. There are only a small number that are harmful.
What is Pseudomonas putida used for?
Pseudomonas putida has been used in the "green" production of chemicals because it is tolerant to solvents. A google-scholar search of the organism will show many publications on the subject.

How is pollution control?
the oil pollution or oil spill controlled by super bug i.e Pseudomonas putida ..pseudomonas is a oil controlling bacteria which is commonly used to break the bonds between the hydrocarbons.
What are some ways that ocean oil pollution can be controlled?
if an oil spill has taken place use pseudomonas putida,a geneticaally engineered bacteria made by Indian anand mohan chakarborty,which ate up oil &reduce its aftereffects...
What are degrades?
degradative plasmids are types of plasmids present in certain bacterias such as pseudomonas putida which impart the ability of degrade xenobiotic compounds such as salicylic acid, 2-4D etc.there are 3 such plasmids-1)CAM plasmid- which degrades camphor.2)XYL ,, - ,, ,, xylene.3)NAH ,, - ,, ,, napthalene.in addition to this CAM also has octane degrading OCT part & NAH has salicylic acid degrading SAL part.
What are Pseudomonas?
Pseudomonas are proteobacteria that belong to the genus Pseudomonas. There are a number of species such as P. aeruginosa, which is an opportunistic pathogen, causing infections in CF patients, burn/wound victims etc.. There is also the P. putida, P. fluorescens etc. They are know for their metabolic diversity, being able to breakdown a wide range of organic compounds including xenobiotics. They are also known for their hydrocarbon degrading abilities and some of their enzymes such as phytases, lipases may have industrial applications.
