Old synonym:
Burkholderia dipogonis Sheu et al. 2015.
Gram-negative rods, surrounded by a thick capsule, 0.6-0.8 x 1.8-2.8 μm. Motile. Non-
sporeforming. Accumulate poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate.
Colonies are pale yellow, circular, smooth and convex with entire edges, 1.2-1.8 mm
in diameter on YEM agar after 48 h of incubation at 25 ºC. Growth occurs at 10-37 ºC
(optimum, 25-30 ºC), at pH 4.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 6.0-7.0) and with 0-2% (w/v) NaCl
(optimum growth in the absence of NaCl). Aerobic.
Isolated from nitrogen-fixing nodules on roots of the invasive South African legume Dipogon lignosus (subfamily Papilionoideae, tribe
Phaseoleae) in New Zealand and Western Australia.
Sensitive to chloramphenicol, rifampicin, gentamicin, kanamycin, penicillin G, ampicillin, novobiocin, tetracycline, streptomycin,
sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim and nalidixic acid.
Undetermined.
