Liu, Pinghui V. (University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, Ky.). Fermentation reactions of Pseudomonas caviae and its serological relationship to aeromonads. J. Bacteriol. 83:750–753. 1962.—Pseudomonas caviae was found to ferment carbohydrates instead of oxidizing them. This characteristic would seem to eliminate this organism from the genus Pseudomonas and place it in the genus Aeromonas. It was identified as A. liquefaciens, by its species-specific extracellular antigens and by neutralization of its enzyme.
