Short Business Description
The genus Hydrogenophaga is a newly-created grouping of gram-negative bacteria that had been previously classified as species of the genus Pseudomonas. These organisms are chemolithotrophic, requiring only minimal minerals for growth. As such, they are commonly isolated from wastewater streams and other industrial water sources. They should be considered non-pathogenic.
