Description
The growth of gut bacteria is affected by signaling molecules of a host, especially stress hormones. In previous studies, a bacterium isolated from the zebra finch gut presumptively identified as a Pseudomonas showed a decreased growth rate in the presence of epinephrine. As the species of Pseudomonas was unknown, a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was used to identify the specific bacterial strain. Sequencing data classified the bacteria as Pseudomonas putida, a gram-negative, rod shaped bacterium. This information provides a more complete understanding of bacteria involved in the communication within the brain-gut axis.
