"Pseudomonas acidophila" is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that produces the beta-lactam antibiotic, sulfazecin [cite journal |author=Asai M, Haibara K, Muroi M, Kintaka K, Kishi T |title=Sulfazecin, a novel beta-lactam antibiotic of bacterial origin. Isolation and chemical characterization. |journal=J Antibiot (Tokyo) |volume=34 |issue=6 |pages=621–627 |year=1981 Jun |pmid=7024230] , as well as bulgecins [cite journal |author=Khalaf JK and Datta A |title=An efficient and highly stereocontrolled route to bulgecinine hydrochloride |journal=J Org Chem |volume=69 |issue=2 |pages=387–90 |year=2004 Jan |pmid=14725451 |doi=10.1021/jo035441q] . It was first isolated in Japan. Because this organism is patented [Imada A, et al. Antibiotic G-6302. US Patent 4,229,436 dated Oct 21 1980.] , it is not officially recognized as a legitimate "Pseudomonas" species, and therefore has no type strain. It is available, however, through the American Type Culture Collection [http://www.atcc.org/common/catalog/numSearch/numResults.cfm?atccNum=31363] .
