| diversity of transconjugants that acquired plasmid pjp4 or pemt1 after inoculation of a donor strain in the a- and b-horizon of an agricultural soil and description of burkholderia hospita sp. nov. and burkholderia terricola sp. nov. | we examined the diversity of transconjugants that acquired the catabolic plasmids pjp4 or pemt1, which encode degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d), in microcosms with agricultural soil inoculated with a donor strain (dejonghe, w., goris, j., el fantroussi, s., höfte, m., de vos, p., verstraete, w., and top, e. m. appl. environ. microbiol. 2000, p. 3297-3304). using repetitive element pcr fingerprinting, eight different rep-clusters and six separate isolates could be discriminate ... | 2002 | 12421072 |
| classification of the biphenyl- and polychlorinated biphenyl-degrading strain lb400t and relatives as burkholderia xenovorans sp. nov. | strain lb400t is the best-studied polychlorinated biphenyl (pcb) degrader. this organism has previously been allocated in the genus burkholderia, since its 16s rrna gene sequence shows 98.6 % sequence similarity to the type strains of burkholderia graminis and burkholderia terricola. a polyphasic study was undertaken to clarify the actual taxonomic position of this biotechnologically important organism and of two strains, one recovered from a blood culture vial and one from a coffee plant rhizos ... | 2004 | 15388727 |
| burkholderia ginsengisoli sp. nov., a beta-glucosidase-producing bacterium isolated from soil of a ginseng field. | a bacterial strain (designated kmy03t) that possesses beta-glucosidase activity was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in south korea and was characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. the bacterium was found to comprise gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile cells with unipolar polytrichous flagella. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence similarity, strain kmy03t was shown to belong to the family burkholderiaceae of the betaproteobacteria, being most closely related to burkhol ... | 2006 | 17082385 |
| ecology and characterization of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing microorganisms on and in plants. | polyhydroxyalkanoates are energy reserve polymers produced by bacteria to survive periods of starvation in natural habitats. little is known about the ecology of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing bacteria. to analyse the occurrence of this specific group on/in seven different plant species, a combined strategy containing culture-dependent and -independent methods was applied. using microbial fingerprint techniques (single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis with specific primers for phac gene ... | 2009 | 19656194 |
| suppression of bacterial wilt and fusarium wilt by a burkholderia nodosa strain isolated from kalimantan soils, indonesia. | a trial was conducted to suppress bacterial wilt of tomato (bwt) caused by ralstonia solanacearum using biocontrol agents (bcas) isolated from soils in kalimantan, indonesia. five isolates were selected from 270 isolates as better performing bcas through screening four times using a pumice medium. the isolates selected were identified as burkholderia nodosa, burkholderia sacchari, burkholderia pyrrocinia and burkholderia terricola according to 16s rdna sequences, fatty acid composition and carbo ... | 2008 | 21558699 |
