From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pseudomonas acidophila is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that produces the beta-lactam antibiotic, sulfazecin[1], as well as bulgecins[2]. It was first isolated in Japan. Because this organism is patented[3], it is not officially recognized as a legitimate Pseudomonas species, and therefore has no type strain. It is available, however, through the American Type Culture Collection[1].
