The growth of this organism on Mueller-Hinton media (the yellow media) allows one to see the green pigment (pyocyanin) produced by Pseudomonas.
Pseudomonas is a genus of gram-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, straight or curved rod-shaped bacteria. Most species are saprophytic, but some are pathogenic for plants and animals. P. aerugino´sa (which produces the pigments pyocyanin and fluorescein that give a characteristic blue color to the pustular discharge of some suppurative infections) is a major agent of severe or fatal nosocomial infections in debilitated patients. |
