History

P. luteoviolacea was originally isolated in 1976 and named Alteromonas luteo-violaceus.[1] However, this name was amended to Alteromonas luteoviolacea in 1982 to comply with standard bacterial naming.[1] In 1995, several species of Alteromonas, including A. luteoviolacea, were reclassified under the newly created genus Pseudoalteromonas based on ribosomal RNA comparisons.[2]
