Aquaculture Probiotics: Pseudomonas stutzeri

P. stutzeri is capable of degrading organic pollutants like naphthalene, chloronaphthalene, methylnaphthalene, chloro-salicylate, and methyl salicylate. P. stutzeri can also convert hexavalent chromium, precipitated mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic and other elements causing pollution in the aquaculture.

Additionally, P. stutzeri is capable of nitrogen fixation which as discussed in an earlier blog is key to breaking up ammonia from fresh excreta and decaying matter at the pond bottom. P. stutzeri is an essential natural probiotic used in environmental remediation and recovery.

P. stutzeri can perform denitrification in high oxygen levels and can carry out nitrification and denitrification simultaneously.
