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[https://web.archive.org/web/20070927002018/http://www.atcc.org/common/catalog/numSearch/numResults.cfm?atccNum=31363].
