Pandoraea Coenye et al. 2000
General information
Description and emendation
Cells are Gram-negative, non-sporulating, straight rods of 0.5-0.7 by 1.5-4.0 μm. They occur singly and are motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Catalase activity is present. Growth is observed at 30 and 37°C. Nitrite is not reduced. No denitrification. No β-galactosidase or DNase activity. No liquefaction of gelatin. No aesculin hydrolysis. No indole production. No hydrolysis of Tween 80. Additional characteristics are listed in the Results section above. The following fatty acid components are present: 12:0, 12:0 2-OH, 16:0, 17:0 cyclo, 16:0 2-OH, 16:0 3- OH, 19:0 cyclo ω8c, 18:1 2-OH, summed feature 3, summed feature 4 and summed feature 7. The G+C content is between 61.2 and 64.3 mol%. Isolated from human clinical samples (mostly cystic fibrosis patients) and the environment. Does not cause soft-rot on onions. The clinical data that are presently available indicate that at least some of these organisms may cause chronic infection in, and have been transmitted amongst, cystic fibrosis patients.
1: Catalase activity is variable. The DNA G+C content is between 61.0 and 65.8 mol%. Hydrolysis of gelatin and aesculin and the presence of C18:1 2-OH are dependent on the species.
