Pantoea Gavini et al. 1989
General information
Description and emendation
Gram-negative, noncapsulated, nonspore-forming straight rods measuring 0.5 to 1.0 by 1.0 to 3.0 µm. Most are motile and are peritrichously flagellated. Colonies on nutrient agar are smooth, translucent, and more or less convex with entire margins. Colonies may or may not be yellow pigmented. Facultatively anaerobic; oxidase negative. Acid is produced from D-xylose, D-ribose, maltose, D-galactose, D-mannose, D-fructose, trehalose, and D-mannitol. Isolated from plant surfaces, seeds, soil, and water, as well as from humans (wounds, blood, urine, internal organs) and animals, in several parts of the world. The G+C content of the DNA is 55.1 to 60.6 mol% (Tm).
1: Gram-negative, noncapsulated, nonsporeforming, straight rods that are 0.5 to 1.3 by 1.0 to 3.0 µm. Cells are motile and peritrichous or are nonmotile. Cultures grow well on nutrient agar at 30°C. Colonies on nutrient agar are smooth, translucent, and more or less convex with entire margins. Colonies are yellow, pale beige to pale reddish yellow, or nonpigmented. Facultatively anaerobic and oxidase negative. No gas is produced from D-glucose. No lysine decarboxylase, tryptophan deaminase, or urease activity. Pectate is not degraded, and hydrogen sulfide is not produced from thiosulfate. Acid is produced from D-xylose, D-ribose, D-galactose, D-fructose, trehalose, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, but not from D-arabinose, L-xylose, L-fucose, or D-turanose. Isolated from plants, seeds, fruits, soils, and water, as well as from humans (wounds, blood, urine, internal organs) and animals, in several parts of the world. Some strains are (or have been thought to be) phytopathogenic. The G+C contents of the DNAs range from 49.7 to 60.6 mol%.
2: Straight rods, 0.5-1.3 by 1.0-3.0 μm. Non-encapsulated. Non-spore-forming. Some strains form symplasmata. Most strains are motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Gram-negative. Colonies on nutrient agar are smooth, translucent and convex with entire margins or heterogeneous in consistency and adhering to the agar. Colonies are yellow, beige or non-pigmented. Facultatively anaerobic. Optimum growth temperature between 28 and 30°C. Oxidase-negative. Glucose dehydrogenase and gluconate dehydrogenase are produced and are active without an added cofactor. Lysine and ornithine are not decarboxylated. Urease-negative. Pectate is not degraded. H2S is not produced from thiosulphate. Most strains are Voges-Proskauer-positive and indole-negative. Acid is produced from the fermentation of L-arabinose, D-ribose, D-xylose, D-galactose, D-fructose, L-rhamnose, D-mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine, maltose and trehalose. Carbon sources utilized at 28°C (Biotype-100) are D-glucose, D-fructose, D-galactose, trehalose, D-mannose, cellobiose, 1-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, L-arabinose, glycerol, inositol, Dsaccharate, cis-aconitate, D-glucuronate, D-galacturonate, N-acetylglucosamine, D-gluconate, DL-lactate, L-histidine, L-aspartate, L-glutamate, L-alanine and L-serine. Carbon sources not utilized at 28°C (Biotype-100) are L-sorbose, palatinose, melezitose, maltitol, turanose, tricarballylate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, gentisate, 3-hydroxybenzoate, benzoate, 3-phenylproprionate, m-coumarate, histamine, caprate, caprylate, glutarate, 5-aminovalerate, ethanolamine, tryptamine, itaconate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, propionate and L-tyrosine. Strains have been isolated from plants, seeds, fruits, soils and water and from humans (urine, blood, wounds, internal organs) and other animals. Strains of several species are phytopathogenic on a wide range of plant and agricultural hosts. The G+C content of the DNA ranges from 52.7 to 60.6 mol%.
