Old synonym:
Burkholderia sediminicola Lim et al. 2008.
Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods with rounded end, 0.3-0.5 x 0.6-1.4 μm. Motile.
Colonies grown on R2A for 36 h are circular and convex with entire margins, 0.6-1
mm in diameter, translucent and creamy white in colour. No slime formation is
observed. Temperature range for growth is 15-30 ºC; no growth occurs at 42 ºC. Cells
grow at pH 6.0-8.0. Best growth is obtained without NaCl, but growth is possible in
the presence of 1.5% (w/v) NaCl.
Isolated from freshwater sediment.
Undetermined.
