Pseudomonas brenneri is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, fluorescent, motile bacterium with a single polar flagella isolated from natural mineral waters in France.[1] Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. brenneri falls within the P. fluorescens group.[2]
Pseudomonas brenneri is named after the microbiologist DJ Brenner.[3] P. brenneri was first isolated from a natural mineral water source in France. It is a gram-negative, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacterium that is motile via a flagellum. It is also an aerobic bacterium that requires oxygen and grows best at medium temperatures.[4] On culture media, P. brenneri is able to produce a fluorescent pigment (pyoverdine) under the right conditions. Strains of this bacterium have been found in diverse environments like soil, wastewater, contaminated soil, and places that have cold, fresh water.[5]
