Semisolid culture medium which is composed of inorganic salts only, for the growth and differentiation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from other Pseudomonas was prepared. When the strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa tested here were inoculated to the medium, decolorization of medium due to oxidative fermentation took place according to the degree of biological activities. These findings are quite similar to those of PYP medium which is widely commercial as fermentation test of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. From the results, there is a possibility to be used as the medium for fundamental research of metabolism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, because the medium is composed of inorganic salts, without enriched nutrients.
