The scientific name for Pseudomonas aeruginosa is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is a gram-negative bacterium commonly found in water, soil, and sometimes on the skin. P. aeruginosa is known for being a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections.
The ATCC number for Pseudomonas aeruginosa is ATCC 27853.
It is a bacteria.
No, but Pseudomonas aeruginosa is.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically does not grow well on Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate (XLD) agar, as this medium is selective for Enterobacteriaceae. Pseudomonas species are usually inhibited by the selective agents in XLD agar. It is better to use selective media like Pseudomonas agar for the isolation and differentiation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The optimal pH range for Pseudomonas aeruginosa is around 6.6-7.4. However, P. aeruginosa is known for its ability to adapt and survive in a wide range of acidic and alkaline environments.

Yes.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa does not form endospores. In Gram staining, it typically stains gram-negative due to its thin peptidoglycan layer and outer lipid membrane.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is able to ferment carbohydrates in phenol red broth, producing acid, which results in a color change from red to yellow. This indicates a positive result for fermentation.
