Genomic Insights in the Metabolism of Aromatic Compounds in Pseudomonas

  • Chapter
Pseudomonas

Abstract

Pseudomonads are ubiquitous γ-proteobacteria with a remarkable degree of physiological and genetic adaptability. Members of the genus Pseudomonas are found in large numbers in different natural environments (soil, freshwater, marine) as well as in association with plants and animals. These bacteria are involved in important metabolic activities in the environment, being element cycling and degradation of biogenic and xenobiotic pollutants some of their major tasks56, 64, 90, 96. The metabolic versatility of Pseudomonas strains has been used for biotechnological applications, mainly to degrade waste (bioremediation) and to synthesize specialty chemicals (biocatalysis)69, 99.
