Burkholderia sacchari sp nov., a polyhydroxyalkanoate-accumulating bacterium isolated from soil of a sugar-cane plantation in Brazil
Strain IPT101(T), isolated from the soil of a sugar-cane plantation in Brazil, was analysed in a polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain produces polyhydroxyalkanoates from sucrose and other carbon sources. Morphological, physiological and biochemical data as well as 16S rDNA, whole-cell protein and fatty acid analyses indicated that strain IPT101(T) represents a new species in the genus Burkholderia. The name Burkholderia sacchari sp. nov. is proposed, with strain IPT101(T) (= LMG 19450(T) = CCT 6771(T)) as the type strain
