Burkholderia Yabuuchi et al. 1993
General information
Description and emendation
The cells of the species of this genus are Gram-negative, non-fermentative, straight rods, that have a single polar flagellum or a tuft of polar flagella when motile. A single species, B. mallei, is atrichous and non-motile. Catalase is produced, oxidase activity is variable by species. In addition to monosaccharides, disaccharides and polyalcohols are oxidized and assimilated as sole source of carbon and energy. Cellular lipids are characterized by the presence of phosphatidyl-glycerol possessing hydroxy fatty acid at the 2-position of glycerol. Fatty acid compositions of cellular lipids are characterized by the presence of 2OH acids of C16:0, 16:1, 18:1, 19CPA and 3OH acids of C14:0 and 16:0; and, characteristically absent are 2OH-C12:0, 3OH-C10:0 and 3OH-C12:0. Species are pathogenic to either human and animal or plant. G+C content of DNA was 64.0-68.3 mol%.
1: Burkholderia cells are gram-negative, nonfermentative, straight rods that have a single polar flagellum or a tuft of polar flagella. A single species, B. mallei, is atrichous and nonmotile. Catalase is produced, and oxidase activity varies between species. The cellular fatty acids are characterized by the presence of 3-hydroxy C16:0. The type strains of several species are characterized by the presence of two types of ornithine lipids. Most species grow at 40°C. All species can grow with the following substrates as sole carbon sources: glucose, glycerol, inositol, galactose, sorbitol, and mannitol. Some species are pathogenic for humans, animals, or plants. Isolated from plant material, soil, or clinical samples. Can be recognized on the basis of 16S rRNA characteristics (sequence and/or DNA-rRNA hybridization data). Most strains accumulate polyhydroxybutyrate as carbon reserve material and are capable of ortho cleavage of protocatechuate. The G+C content is 59.0 to 69.5 mol%. These taxa can be further differentiated on the basis of phenotypic characteristics and genotypic characteristics.
2: Gram-negative, straight or slightly curved rods, which exhibit motility mediated by one or more polar flagella. Only, B. mallei lacks flagella and is nonmotile. The species do not produce sheaths or prosthecae and do not go through any resting stages. Most species are able to accumulate and utilize poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) for growth. The species are mostly aerobic chemoorganotrophs, but some species are capable of anaerobic respiration using nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor. The G+C content for the members of the genus ranges from 65.7 to 68.5%. The members of the genus form a distinct monophyletic clade in phylogenetic trees, and they are distinguished from all other bacteria by the conserved sequence indels reported in this work in the following proteins: Periplasmic amino acid-binding protein, 4-hydroxybenzoate 3-monooxygenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, Sarcosine oxidase subunit alpha, a putative lipoprotein, and a putative lyase.
