General Description of Pseudomonas Species

Pseudomonas is a gram negative bacteria. It is diverse and has more than 300 genus members. This bacteria is able to easily bond to soil particles, rocks, and other surfaces. Pseudomonas species are infamous for their ability to remediate toxic organics. They utilize solutes, soil particles, and mineral surfaces to derive the nutrients essential for metabolism.

Pseudomonas species thrive in well saturated areas such as wetlands, marsh, bogs, and marine environments. They even inhabit humans and animals. In optimal conditions this bacteria can experience dense growth of microbial biofilms, which gives it capabilities to remediate and remove toxins. Pseudomonas undergoes anaerobic respiration and produces carbon dioxide and water in the absence of oxygen, so they can thrive in diverse environments. Some Pseudomonas aquatic species are known to be contributing agents to parasitic diseases in fish species in marine environments!

  Analyzing Ecosystem Services, Habitat, and Filtration Provided by Phragmites in Four Selected Detroit Unmanaged or Undisturbed Areas  Dr. Jacob Napieralski & Alonzo Bell Published: November 19, 2023 University of Michigan Dearborn: College of Arts, Sciences, & Letters      Introduction  This research is centered around Phragmite density and soil analysis in undisturbed areas in Detroit, MI. The genus name for Phragmites is P. australis. It is also referred to as Common Reed. In Michigan, this species is recognized as an invasive species and can over take poorly managed areas. There are also a sub species of native Phragmites species in Michigan.  Though it may be recognized as an invasive species in Michigan, it may have some ecological, environmental, and biochemical advantages. In many settings, it may provide habitat for organisms such as Muskrats, Sparrows, Field Mice, Fish Crows, and other species of bird.       ...

Case Report: Green Synthesis of Hybrid Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane/ Green Polyurethane developed by Hybrid Coating Technologies

Author:  Alonzo Bell Date Published: 04/02/2023 Case Report: Green Synthesis of Hybrid Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane/ Green Polyurethane developed by Hybrid Coating Technologies. Case Report: Synthesis of Hybrid Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane/ Green Polyurethane by Hybrid Coating Technologies The focus area of the award: greener synthetic pathways, greener reaction conditions, and design of greener chemicals The Winners of the Green Chemistry Awards of 2015, who produced synthesis routes to develop hybrid non-isocyanate polyurethane (HNIPU). Isocyanates are known as toxic hazards to humans and wildlife when combusted and can produce harmful amines, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide and carbonate molecules. This new innovation considers molecular weights of different amine groups. Some low molecular weight amines can have acute toxicity and be corrosive (via conventional synthesis). HCT, also considers high molecular weight amines which can be less toxic and more stable for synthesis via...
