Bacteria belonging to theBurkholderiagenus have been extensively studied for their potential as biocontrol agents, particularly their ability to produce bioactive compounds. In this study, we investigated the antagonistic capabilities of an indigenous strain ofBurkholderia gladioliBNM349 against a wide ...
Trinick, an Australian microbiologist who was the first to isolate rhizobia from Mimosa), with Mycetohabitans rhizoxinica and Trinickia symbiotica as the type specie, respectively. In summary, the proposed divisions of Burkholderia s.l., including more than 120 species that inhabit a great ...
The secondary metabolism of Burkholderia spp. also produces phenazine molecules. In B. cepacia 5.5B a purple pigment exhibited activity against R. solani. Later, it was isolated and identified as 4,9-dihydroxyphenazine-1,6-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester (Cartwright et al., 1995). Another molec...
The genus Burkholderia is an emerging source of novel natural products chemistry, yet to date few methods exist for the selective isolation of strains of this genus from the environment. More broadly, tools to efficiently design selection media for any given genus would be of significant value to...
Burkholderiaspp. bacteria are known to produce a variety of small organic molecules also known as natural products, allowing these bacteria to adapt and survive in diverse ecological niches9,16,17,18. These natural products play important roles in swarming, biofilm formation, iron acquisition, combat...
MAK1 (DSM102049), capable of using pyridin-2-ol as the sole carbon and energy source, was isolated from soil. Whole cells of Burkholderia sp. MAK1 were confirmed to possess a good ability to convert different pyridin- 2-amines and pyridin-2-ones into their 5-hydroxy derivatives. More...
Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei), as a highly pathogenic organism, causes melioidosis, which is a disease of public health importance in many tropical developing countries. Here, we present and validate a novel detection technique, termed mult
Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) complex is a highly resistant gram-negative pathogen known to cause lung infection in cystic fibrosis, chronic granulomatous disease, and immunocompromised patients. However, it may rarely infect
The co-culture produced palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid (140-143), which can be developed as a renewable source of biofuels (Wrede et al., 2014). Do Nascimento and colleagues studied the effect of co-culture of bacteria on the growth promotion of microalgae (Do...
There are several methodologies to identify if a bacterium has the ability to fix N2: either by isolating bacteria using culture media without a source of nitrogen (assuming that the bacteria that grow can do it using the nitrogen obtained by BNF), by in vitro specific techniques such as the...
