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
editC. 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
editStrain I2gfp has been used in bioaugmentation trials, in attempts to treat the industrial by-product 3-chloroaniline.[2]
