"Pseudomonas balearica" is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium [cite journal |author=Bennasar, "et al." |title=16S rRNA gene sequence analysis relative to genomovars of "Pseudomonas stutzeri" and proposal of "Pseudomonas balearica" sp. nov. |journal=Int J Syst Bacteriol |volume=46 |issue=1 |pages=200–5 |year=1996 Jan |pmid=8573496 ] . It is an environmental bacterium, and has demonstrated the potential to oxidize inorganic sulfur compounds to tetrathionate [cite journal |author=Sorokin, "et al." |title=Anaerobic oxidation of thiosulfate to tetrathionate by obligately heterotrophic bacteria, belonging to the "Pseudomonas stutzeri" group |journal=FEMS Microbiol Ecol |volume=30 |issue=2 |pages=113–123 |year=1999 Oct |pmid=10508936 ] . Based on 16S rRNA analysis, "P. balearica" has been placed in the "P. stutzeri" group [cite journal |author=Anzai, "et al." |title=Phylogenetic affiliation of the pseudomonads based on 16S rRNA sequence |journal=Int J Syst Evol Microbiol |volume=50 (Pt 4) |pages=1563–89 |year=2000, Jul |pmid=10939664] .
