Bacteria within the genus *Pseudomonas* can be classified based on whether they accumulate poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) storage granules and produce fluorescent pigments. For example, fluorescent species like *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* and *Pseudomonas syringae* do not accumulate PHB granules, which distinguishes them from nonfluorescent species that do store PHB.
