Chapter 19, Problem 2CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The mechanism that helps Pseudomonas aeruginosa growin the absence of oxygen.
Introduction:
Pseudomonas aeruginosais a rod-shaped gram-negative bacterium that is responsible for causing diseasein animals and plants. The bacterium is citrate, oxidase and catalase-positive that helps it in surviving in a wide range of environments.
