They are distinguished from Azotobacter by their inability to form cysts, but like Azotobacter they can biologically fix nitrogen under aerobic conditions diazotroph .

Taxobox color lightgrey name Pseudomonadales image Acinetobacter baumannii.JPG image caption Acinetobacter baumannii regnum Bacterium Bacteria phylum Proteobacteria classis Gammaproteobacteria ordo Pseudomonadales ordo authority Orla Jensen, 1921 subdivision ranks Families subdivision Azotobacteraceae br Branhamaceae br Moraxellaceae br Pseudomonadaceae The Pseudomonadales are an order of Proteobacteria . A few members are opportunistic pathogens, such as species of Pseudomonas , Moraxella , and Acinetobacter , which may cause pneumonia . Pseudomonas The bacterial genus Pseudomonas includes the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa P. aeruginosa , plant pathogenic bacteria, plant beneficial bacteria, ubiquitous soil bacteria with bioremediation capabilities and other species that cause spoilage of milk and dairy products. P. aeruginosa can cause chronic opportunistic infections that have become increasingly apparent in immunocompromised patients and the ageing population of industrialised societies. The genome sequences of several pseudomonads have become available in recent years and researchers are beginning to use the data to make new discoveries about this bacterium. ref name Cornelis cite book author Cornelis P editor . title Pseudomonas Genomics and Molecular Biology edition 1st publisher Caister Academic Press year 2008 url http www.horizonpress.com pseudo id http www.horizonpress.com pseudo ISBN 978 1 904455 19 6 ref Acinetobacter The genus Acinetobacter is a group of Gram negative, non motile and non fermentative bacteria belonging to the family Moraxellaceae . They are important soil organisms where they contribute to the mineralisation of, for example, aromatic compounds. Acinetobacter are able to survive on various surfaces both moist and dry in the hospital environment, thereby being an important source of infection in debilitated patients. These bacteria are innately resistant to many classes of antibiotic s. In addition, Acinetobacter is ... more details
