    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Routine monitoring of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in swimming pools is crucial for public health.
    • Unusual bacterial isolates can indicate deviations from expected microbial profiles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To isolate and characterize unusual budding bacteria found during routine water quality testing.
    • To identify the taxonomic classification of the isolated bacterial strains.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation using Millipore Pseudomonas Count Water Tester.
    • Microscopic examination for morphology and reproductive methods (budding, binary fission).
    • Biochemical tests including Gram staining, catalase, oxidase, and acid production from glucose.

    Main Results:

    • Isolation of two distinct Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria.
    • First isolate identified as Blastobacter sp., characterized by yellow pigmentation, polar holdfast, rosette formation, and budding reproduction.
    • Second isolate, red-pigmented, exhibited budding at both poles and potential binary fission, with strict aerobic, catalase-positive, and oxidase-positive characteristics.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully isolated and began the characterization of two unique budding bacterial strains from a recreational water source.
    • Blastobacter sp. was identified, showcasing typical morphology and reproductive strategies.
    • The second unidentified isolate presents distinct morphological and reproductive features warranting further investigation.
