The properties of the strains, designated C2, SI and FE, suggest that they should be included in a single species that we have named Pseudomonas thermocarboxydovorans. The isolates can grow on CO and a limited range of organic and amino acids; neither sugars nor H2/CO2 support growth and H2 is not oxidized. Strain C2 contains a soluble, inducible CO. phenazine etho-sulphate oxidoreductase, lacks hydrogenase and assimilates CO via ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase. The organism apparently contains a mechanism for assimilating phospho-glycollate. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-130-5-1097
