Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
The family Pectobacteriaceae contains the type genus Pectobacterium and the genera Brenneria, Dickeya, Lonsdalea, and Sodalis. Members of the family produce acid from N-acetylglucosamine and are negative for arginine dihydrolase, orthinine decarboxylase and lysine decarboxylase. These bacteria are catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, and do not produce hydrogen disulfide. Members of the family Pectobacteriaceae form a distinct monophyletic cluster in genome- and multigene-based phylogenetic trees and can be distinguished from all other bacteria by four conserved signature indels in the proteins transcriptional activator RhaS, flagellar motor protein MotB, a two-component sensor histidine kinase protein and a hypothetical protein.
