"Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis" is a Gram-negative, phenanthrene-degrading bacterium from a coal gasification site in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, Denmark [cite journal |author=Andersen, "et al." |title="Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis" sp. nov., isolated from soil at a coal gasification site |journal=Int J Syst Evol Microbiol |volume=50 (Pt 6) |pages=1957–64 |year=2000 Nov |pmid=11155968 ] . It is able to catalyse the asymmetric oxidation of sulfides to give exclusively the R enantiomer [cite journal |author=Adam, "et al." |title=Opposite enantioselectivities of two phenotypically and genotypically similar strains of "Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis" in bacterial whole-cell sulfoxidation |journal=Appl Environ Microbiol |volume=71 (Pt 4) |pages=2199–202 |year=2005 Apr |pmid=15812060 ] . The type strain is DSM 13022.
