Original Description
expand / minimize
Robbsia strains are oxidase, gelatin hydrolysis, arginine dihydrolase, propionate, cellobiose, maltose, salicin, saccharose and erythritol negative. Citrate, malonate, succinate, acetate, fructose, arabinose, galactose, mannitol, mannose, sorbitol and HR (Hypersensitive Response) positive. Can be differentiated from Burkholderia, Paraburkholderia and Caballeronia species by its single polar sheathed flagellum; rhizobitoxine production; 16S rRNA and housekeeping genes sequences; genome comparison by average nucleotide identity; tetranucleotide frequency signature and percentage similarity of conserved proteins. Pathogenic to a wide range of host plants, with an extensive geographical distribution (EPPO 2014).
