Preliminary analysis on biodegrading strains of Pseudomonas stutzeri

The goal of our work was to study two bacterial strains, isolated from oil polluted soil. Morphophysiological analysis and preliminary molecular analysis allowed us to identify those strains as Pseudomonas stutzeri. Molecular analysis aimed to determined optimal conditions for the isolation and purification of chromosomal DNA and estimation of molar percentage of guanine+cytosine, and confirmed our preliminary identification.
