| Taxonomy: |

Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonas; Pseudomonas stutzeri group |
| Industrial
implications: |
| Pseudomonas
stutzeri can degrade carbon tetrachloride (used in
some dry-cleaning) to carbon dioxide and other inert compounds,
as where other organisms that can degrade carbon tetrachloride
produce chloroform. Pseudomonas stutzeri is also
being investigated for biodegradation of phenanthrene
and other toxic organic chemicals. |
| Misc.: |
Pseudomonas stutzeri strain KC was the first
field scale demonstration of bioremediation. It was used
in an accident where approximately 25 gallons of carbon
tetrachloride were dumped into an aquifer in School Craft,
Michigan. |
