“…Pseudomonas stutzeri , a model denitrifying pseudomonas, can grow in diverse conditions ( Lalucat et al, 2006 ) and its use has been demonstrated in a number of bioremediation processes, including phenol ( Jiang et al, 2014 ), carbon tetrachloride ( Sepúlveda-Torres et al, 2002 ), uranium ( Han et al, 2012 ), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( Moscoso et al, 2012a ), and diesel oil ( Kaczorek et al, 2012 ). Additionally, P. stutzeri has been identified in and used in a number of consortia-based applications, such as bioremediation ( Nguyen et al, 2008 ; Brodie et al, 2011 ; Gałazka et al, 2012 ), wastewater denitrification ( Clarens et al, 1998 ; Liu et al, 2006 ), aquaculture water quality management ( Erna et al, 2013 ; Deng et al, 2014 ), as a plant growth promoter for the biocontrol of phytopathogens ( Cottyn et al, 2009 ; Shen et al, 2013 ), and manufacturing/municipal waste management ( Miyahara et al, 2012 ; Moscoso et al, 2012b ). The use of P. stutzeri biofilms for various bioremediation efforts has potential benefits in terms of activity and yields for copper removal ( Badar et al, 2013 ), drinking water denitrification ( Lazarova et al, 1992 ) and naphthalene ( Zhao et al, 2016 ), and phenol ( Viggiani et al, 2006 ) degradation.…”
