Thiopseudomonas denitrificans
Description is based mostly on API ZYM and API 20 NE (bioMerieux) results.

Positive results for catalase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, denitrification, naphthol-ASBI-phosphohydrolase
and oxidase.
Malate is assimilated, sulfide is oxidized anaerobically with nitrate as electron acceptor.

Negative results for acid and alkaline phosphatase, arginine dihydrolase, aesculin hydrolysis, cystine arylamidase, alpha-fucosidase,
gelatinase, alpha- and beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, indole production, lipase (C14),
alpha-mannosidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, urease, valine arylamidase, acid production from
glucose.
No assimilation of: sucrose, D-glucose, arabinose, mannose, mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine, maltose, gluconate, caprate, adipate,
citrate and phenylacetate.

Gram-negative rods, 0.4-0.7 x 1.0-1.5 µm. Motile by means of a polar flagellum.
Colonies are translucent at the edge and dark yellow in the centre after 3 days
incubation at 30 ºC on TSA plates. Growth occurs at 10-37 ºC (optimum, 30 ºC), at pH
6.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0) and in the presence of 0-3% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0–1 %),
but not in the presence of 4% (w/v) NaCl. Does not produce fluorescent pigment on
King’s B media.Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from the sludge of an anaerobic, denitrifying, sulfide-removal bioreactor.
Undetermined.
