Burkholderia ferrariae Valverde et al. 2006.
Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods. Motile. Non-sporeforming.
Colonies on YED-P medium are approximately 1-3 mm in diameter, cream-coloured,
round, smooth and convex. Grows at 30 ºC. No growth on MacConkey medium.
Grows in 0-1% NaCl and at pH 7.0.
Isolated from ore material from the Jangada mine, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Bacterium has the ability to solubilize highly insoluble
phosphatic minerals.
Undetermined.
