Properties of <i>Pseudomonas iodinum</i>

Abstract

From results of Adansonian, deoxyribonucleic acid base composition, and fine structure studies of Pseudomonas iodinum, it is suggested that this organism be removed from the genus Pseudomonas. The cell wall structure of P. iodinum was found to be typical of the Gram-positive bacteria. Inclusion bodies were observed in cell sections and were found to be located at or near the septum and mesosomes of the cells.
