Determinative studies were carried out with the pseudomonads isolated from oil-brines and the other related materials obtained in petroleum zones in Japan, and the following species were identified: Pseudomonas iners nov. sp., 2 strains; Pseudomonas stutzeri (LEHMANN and NEUMANN) KLUYVER, 10 strains; Pseudomonas putrefaciens (DERBY and HAMMER) LONG and HAMMER, 2 strains; Pseudomonas azotoformans IIZUKA and KOMAGATA, 7 strains; Pseudomonas nitroreducens IIZUKA and KOMAGATA, 3 strains; Pseudomonas schuylkilliensis CHESTER, 4 strains; and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (SCHROETER) MIGULA, 4 strains. From the physiological and biochemical characteristics of these pseudomonads, the authors discussed the reason for their occurrence in oil-brines.
