Thanks for finally writing about >Biochemical Test of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa – Microbiology Notes <Loved it!
In my Pseudomonas is unable to ferment sugars especially glucose. Please reply
Pseudomonas is glucose positive, means it ferments glucose.
Pseudomonas is glucose-non-fermenting. It is only able to oxidase glucose in aerobic conditions.
Isn’t Pseudomonas non-fermentative and oxidative in nature?
Yes…the tube is open it would be positive because it oxidizes glucose not ferment
