This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution. If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. Bibliography sandbox

The article already had an identification table, so I moved the information to other format. I added the required missing test results from my reference that the table didn't already cover. Because I had originally been doing my work on the Pseudomonas genus article ( /info/en/?search=User:HermiaStudy/Pseudomonas?veaction=edit&preload=Template%3ADashboard.wikiedu.org_draft_template), I had originally done some editing but not too much. I wrote my paragraph for this article under the classification tab and described some differences in the colony morphology in the species (my addition to the paragraph is in brackets and was published 4/21/22).

Morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are shown in the Table below.

Note: + = Positive, – =Negative

Identification of P. aeruginosa can be complicated by the fact individual isolates often lack motility. [The colony morphology itself also displays several varieties. The main two types are large, smooth, with a flat edge and elevated center and small, rough, and convex. ^[1] A third type, mucoid, can also be found. The large colony can typically be found in clinal settings while the small is found in nature. ^[1] The third, however, is present in biological settings and has been found in respiratory and in the urinary tract. ^[1]] Furthermore, mutations in the gene lasR drastically alter colony morphology and typically lead to failure to hydrolyze gelatin or hemolyze. ^{citation needed}
