Morphology Pseudomonas
CELLULAR  
Staining Gram-negative
Morphology Straight or slightly curved rods but not helical, 0.5-1.0 um in diameter by 1.5-5.0 um in length.
Motility . Motile by one or several polar flagella; rarely nonmotile. In some species lateral flagella of shorter wavelength mkay also be formed
Specialized structures . Many species accumulate poly- B-hydroxybutyrate as carbon reserve material, which appears as sudanophilic inclusions. Do not produce prosthecae and are not surrounded by sheaths. No resting stages are known

Growth Parameters Pseudomonas
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism  
Oxygen Aerobic, having a strictly respiratory type of metabolism with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor; in some cases nitrate can be used as an alternate electron acceptor, allowing growth to occur anaerobically
pH Most, if not all, species fail to grow under acid conditions (pH 4.5).
