Pseudomonadales is an order of bacteria primarily found in soil and water. These bacteria are known for their metabolic diversity, allowing them to thrive in various environments. Many species within this order can degrade organic compounds, making them important for bioremediation processes. Members of the Pseudomonadales order are typically rod-shaped and can be motile due to their flagella. Some species are pathogenic, causing diseases in plants and animals, while others are beneficial and used in agriculture and biotechnology. Their ability to adapt to different conditions makes them a significant group in microbial ecology.
