Old synonym: Pseudomonas nitrititolerans Peng et al. 2019.
Species decription is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods, 0.7-1.1 x 1.4-2.0 µm. Motile by one polar flagellum. Non-spore
forming.
Colonies on Luria-Bertani (LB) medium after 2 days incubation at 30 ºC, are circular,
yellowish, smooth, shiny and convex, with neat edges, and about 1.8 mm in
diameter.Grows at 4-42 ºC (optimum 30-37 ºC), at pH 6.0-11.0 (optimum pH 8.0-9.0)
and in the presence of 0-9.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum1.0-2.0%). Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from a nitrification/denitrification bioreactor. Can grow in 120 mM NaNO2.
Susceptible to gentamicin and kanamycin, weakly resistant to ampicillin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, norfloxacin, and resistant to
cefazolin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline and vancomycin
Undetermined.
