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.
