Erwiniaceae Adeolu et al. 2016
General information
Description and emendation
The family Erwiniaceae contains the type genus Erwinia and the genera Buchnera, Pantoea, Phaseolibacter, Tatumella and Wigglesworthia. These bacteria are catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, and do not produce indole or hydrogen disulfide. Most species are positive for Voges-Proskauer, with the exception of Erwinia toletana, Erwinia. typographi and some strains of Erwinia oleae. Members of the family Erwiniaceae form a distinct monophyletic cluster in genome- and multi-gene-based phylogenetic trees and can be distinguished fromall other bacteria by 12 conserved signature indels in the proteins glutamate-cysteine ligase, DNA gyrase (subunit B), LPS assembly protein LptD, Thiol: disulfide interchange protein DsbA precursor, two-component sensor histidine kinase, RNA helicase, tRNA pseudouridine (13) synthase TruD, glycine/betaine ABC transporter ATP-binding protein, superoxide dismutase, and stationary phase inducible protein CsiE.
