Abstract
A fluorescent pseudomonad (strain CW-96-1) isolated from a deep-sea ve nt sample grew at 30 degrees C under aerobic conditions in an artifici al seawater medium and tolerated cadmium concentrations up to 5 mM. Af ter 140 h, strain CW-96-1 removed > 99% of the cadmium from solution. Energy dispersive microanalysis revealed that the cadmium was removed by precipitation on the cell wall; sulfide production was confirmed by growth on Kligler's agar. Based on 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing and f atty acid analysis, the microorganism is closely related to Pseudomona s aeruginosa.
