General information
Description and emendation
The description of Brenneria salicis is the same as that of the genus. Strains possess β-galactosidase and aspartase but not urease, caseine hydrolase and phenylalanine deaminase. Cells do not produce indole. Strains produce acid from amygdalin, arbutine, N-acetyl glucosamine, mannitol, rhamnose, raffinose and ribose but not from arabinose, arabitol, dextrin, dulcitol, erythritol, esculin, fucose, glycogene, inuline, lactose, α-methylmannoside, melibiose, α-D-melezitose, β-methylxyloside, sorbose, starch, tagatose and xylose. Strains grow on arabinose, arbutine, citrate, esculin, fructose, fumarate, gluconate, galactose, glucose, glycerol, malate, mannitol, mannose, melibiose, β-methyl glucoside, raffinose, ribose, salicin, succinate and sucrose but not on adipate, adonitol, arabinose, arabitol, benzoate, betaine, butanol, dextrin, dulcitol, meso-erythritol, ethylene galacturonic acid, glycol, gallate, glutaminic acid, glycogene, lactose, lactulose, lyxose, malonic acid, α-D-melezitose, methanol, naphtalene, oxalate, pectinic acid, propanol, propionate, sorbinic acid, sorbitol, sorbose, starch, xylitol and xylose as carbon sources. Strains grow on alanine, allantoin, am-moniumchloride, anthranilic acid, arginine, asparagine, asparginic acid, citrulline, glucosamine, glutaminic acid, glutathion, glycine, glycylglycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, serine, tryptophane, tyrosine, ureum, threonine, valine and xanthin but not on betaine, choline, cysteamine, hydroxypyroline, kynureninic acid, quinolinic acid, sarcosine, spermidine, spermine, trigonelline, thymine and tryptamine as nitrogen sources. Strains are sensitive to carbenicillin, cephaloridin, cephalexin, cephalotin, chloramphenicol, doxycycline, framecytine, furazolidone, kanamycine, nalidixinic acid, nitrofurantoine, oxytetracycline and tetracycline but not to bacitracin, cloxacillin, colistine sulfate, erythromycin, fusidinic acid, gentamycine, lincomycine, methicillin, spectinomycin and sulfafurazol. Brenneria salicis strains cause watermark disease on willow (Salix spp.). The G+C contents of members of the species range from 51.3 to 51.5 mol%.
1: Cells are 0.5-1.0 × 1.3-3.0 μm with rounded ends, occurring singly or rarely in pairs. Gram negative. Motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Facultatively anaerobic, but anaerobic growth by some species is weak. Optimum temperature for growth is 27-30°C; maximum temperature for growth is 40°C. Oxidase negative and catalase positive. Negative result in tests for arginine dihydrolase, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, tryptophan deaminase and starch hydrolase activities. Do not utilize citrate and do not produce H2S, urease, indole or gelatinase. Nitrates are not reduced to nitrites. Acid is produced from D-ribose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine and sucrose, but not from adonitol or dulcitol. Major fatty acids are C12:0, C14:0, C16:0, and C17:0. Members of the genus Brenneria form a phylogenetic clade as determined by both 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and MLSA based on four housekeeping genes. Species of the genus cause diseases on trees (e.g. deciduous trees and walnut trees), which include blights, cankers, wilts, necrosis and rots. The G+C content of the DNA is 50.1-56.1 mol%.
2: Cells are 0.5-1.0 × 1.1-3.0 μm with rounded ends, occurring singly or rarely in pairs. Gram negative. Motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Facultatively anaerobic, but anaerobic growth by some species is weak. Optimum temperature, 27-30°C; maximum temperature for growth is 40°C. Oxidase negative and catalase positive. Negative for lysine, decarboxylase, tryptophan deaminase and starch hydrolase activity. Arginine dihydrolase, ornithine decarboxylase, citrate utilization and acetoin production are variable. Do not produce H2S, urease, indole or gelatinase. Nitrates are not reduced to nitrites. Acid is produced from D-ribose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine and sucrose but not from adonitol or dulcitol. Major fatty acids are C12:0, C14:0, C16:0, and C17:0 cyclo. Brenneria species cause diseases on trees (eg. deciduous trees and walnut trees), which include blights, cankers, wilts, necrosis and rots. The G+C content of the DNA is 50.1-56.1 mol%.
