Dataset of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PRD-10 in pure culture on different agar media

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PRD-10
(ATCC 15442) is useful as a model organism for studying bacterial colonization
of metal implants in biomedical settings. Typical culture of the bacterium on
solid rich medium would reveal small, round, greenish-yellow mucoid colonies.
More importantly, a greenish colouration was easily discernible along the streak
lines on the agar plate. Such a colouration disappears during culture of P.
aeruginosa PRD-10 on minimal salts agar medium. One important
characteristic of this strain of P. aeruginosa was observation of
retarded swarming motility. Pictures of P. aeruginosa PRD-10 in pure
culture on different agar media are encapsulated as a zip file with this
abstract. Incubation conditions were 37 oC for variable period of
time for different agar media.
