| burkholderia caribensis sp. nov., an exopolysaccharide-producing bacterium isolated from vertisol microaggregates in martinique. | twenty-one exopolysaccharide-producing strains were isolated from the 5-20 microns fraction of a vertisol in the south-east of the island of martinique in the french west indies. although these strains were phenotypically identified as burkholderia cepacia or as burkholderia glathei using biolog microplates, they did not cluster genotypically by amplified rdna restriction analysis (ardra) with any described burkholderia species. a phylogenetic analysis revealed that the rrs (16s rdna) sequences ... | 1999 | 10319504 |
| burkholderia tuberum sp. nov. and burkholderia phymatum sp. nov., nodulate the roots of tropical legumes. | the taxonomic status of five root nodule isolates from tropical legumes was determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. two isolates were identified as b. caribensis, an organism originally isolated from soil in martinique (the french west indies). one isolate was identified as burkholderia cepacia genomovar vi, a b. cepacia complex genomovar thus far only isolated from sputum of cystic fibrosis patients. the remaining two isolates were identified as novel burkholderia species for which we ... | 2002 | 12583710 |
