Acanthamoeba cysts live in water. I don't believe they're airborne. They can contaminate improperly prepared and sterilized contact lens solutions.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa will not grow anaerobically, only aerobically. We use it as a control to test if our anaerobic conditions are absolute. If the Pseudo is growing, some oxygen got in there somewhere.
Hope this helps you out.
