Comamonas testosteroni (previously known as Pseudonomas testosteroni) is a medium-to-long Gram-negative aerobic bacterium. Its distribution is worldwide and it is found mostly in soil, water, and on plants. It is non-motile and does not form endospores.[1]
Pathology
[edit]C. testosteroni is not typically considered a pathogen, its relationship with humans generally thought of as commensal in nature. However, it is not recognized as endogenous human flora.
Uses
[edit]Strain I2gfp has been used in bioaugmentation trials, in attempts to treat the industrial by-product 3-chloroaniline.[2]
