Abstract
Liu, Pinghui V. (University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, Ky.). Fermentation reactions of Pseudomonas caviae and its serological relationship to aeromonads. J. Bacteriol. 83: 750–753. 1962.— Pseudomonas caviae was found to ferment carbohydrates instead of oxidizing them. This characteristic would seem to eliminate this organism from the genus Pseudomonas and place it in the genus Aeromonas . It was identified as A. liquefaciens , by its species-specific extracellular antigens and by neutralization of its enzyme.
