Pseudomonas putida belongs to a group of opportunistic pathogens that can cause disease in people with weakened or damaged immune systems. Some strains have medical significance, and for most ingestion is not the primary route of infection. If water used by predisposed subjects is contaminated by P. putida, they may become ill. The aim of this work was the biochemical and molecular characterization of strain ST3 of P. putida isolated from non-carbonated bottled drinking water from Jakov Do 4 on Mt. Vlasina. Characterization of P. putida was performed to assess the risk to human health of the indigenous strains present in the water. Biochemical characterization of strains was performed using the manual identification system ID 32 GN (BioM?rieux). Identification was obtained using the database identification software ATB System (Bio-M?rieux). Molecular characterization was performed by PCR amplification and 16S rDNA ?thermal cycling sequencing?. Biochemical identification of the strain ST3 was accurate (Id = 99.8%). Comparing the sequences obtained for strain ST3 with NCBI gene bank sequences for 16S rRNA, the highest similarity of our strain (96% identity) with a strain of P. putida, designated as biotype A (gi|18076625|emb|AJ308311.1|.PPU308311) isolated in New Zealand, was obtained. While comparison with the NCBI collection of all deposited sequences showed that the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain ST3 has very high homology, it is not identical, indicating indirectly that strain ST3 is an indigenous strain. <br><br><font color="red"><b> This article has been corrected.

Abstract Sutter’s arginine dihydrolase medium has been modified to obtain maximum yields of arginine dihydrolase. Bromothymol blue is the indicator for alkalinity in Sutter’s medium. By adding glucose and lowering the pH of the medium, more positive reactions were obtained in 24 hr as well as a sharper color contrast to the base medium which facilitated reading the reactions. The modified Sutter’s medium was included in the routine biochemical schema for speciation of pseudomonads isolated from cosmetic products. Of the 706 strains belonging to the 5 species isolated from cosmetic products, only one false negative reaction was obtained with a strain of Pseudomonas putida. The medium was also used for the biochemical characterization of 122 Pseudomonas sp. isolates.

Spinach grown in Texas developed “yellow spotting” on the peripheral portions of the leaves. The exact cause of the discoloration could not be determined as there was no evidence of viral or parasitic infestation of the plants and biochemical characterization of the plants did not indicate any significant differences between the yellow and green leaf portions of the spinach. The present study was undertaken using electron microscopy (EM) to determine if a micro-nutrient deficiency was the cause for the discoloration.Green leaf spinach was collected from the field and sent by express mail to the EM laboratory. The yellow and equivalent green portions of the leaves were isolated and dried in a Denton evaporator at 10-5 Torr for 24 hrs. The leaf specimens were then examined using a JEOL 100 CX analytical microscope. TEM specimens were prepared according to the methods of Trump et al.
