Gram negative, 0.7-0.8 / 1.2-2.5 µm, motile rods.
Strictly aerobic, optimal temperature 35 ºC, poor growth at 41 ºC.
Nutrient agar / nutrient broth.

Isolated from soil, water & clinical samples (sputum, urine, sinus discharge, cerebrospinal fluid) - rarely. Pseudomonas oleovorans
is isolated from oil-water emulsions used as lubricants and cooling agents in the cutting and grinding of metals. Apparently the
organism lives on some normal constituent of the cutting compound, probably the naphthenic acids, which act as emulsifying agents.

Opportunistic pathogen. Possible cause of meningitis or pneumonia (doubtful – admin note).

Fructose is the only carbohydrate utilized. Can utilize glutarate, D-malate, mesaconate,
ethanol, DL-arginine. Oxidase positive.
Mannitol, gluconate, 2-ketogluconate are not utilized. Egg-yolk reaction, starch
hydrolysis & lipase are negative. Gelatin liquefaction is variable
Can use free cyanide or cyano-metal complexes as nitrogen source. Can use
nitrobenzene as the sole source of carbon. Can degrade 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT).
