Enhanced anaerobic synthesis of rhamnolipids and emulsification of crude oil by genetically engineered Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains [PDF]
Microbial Cell FactoriesBackground Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a facultative anaerobic bacterium widely distributed in oil reservoirs. Efficient production of rhamnolipids by P. aeruginosa in anoxic environments of oil reservoirs contributes to oil displacement.

Insights on the spatial distribution of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa secondary metabolites under swarming motility-inducing conditions using mass spectrometry imaging [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumPseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits a variety of motility types, including twitching, swimming, and swarming motility. The latter is typically associated with growth on semi-solid surfaces (e.g., 0.4% to 0.5% agar), the formation of extending tendrils, and ...
