Burkholderia to Paraburkholderia: The Journey of a Plant-Beneficial-Environmental BacteriumThe genus Burkholderia is a versatile member of class Proteobacteria with over a hundred validly described species. Though endowed with a vast ecological diversity and metabolic versatility, the agro-...
tinctive clades, which were further subdivided into six other clusters by their close resemblance to (1) Trinickia dinghuensis; (2) Paraburkholderia kirstenboschensis, P. graminis, P. dilworthii and P. rhynchosiae; (3) B. gladioli; (4) B. arboris; (5) B. contaminans, or (6) B. ...
Paraburkholderia graminis comb. nov. (Basonym: Burkholderia graminis) was selected as the type species. Within clade I, called Burkholderia sensu stricto (s.s.), it was possible to distinguish three small clades: the complex of B. cepacia in clade Ia, B. pseudomallei and closely related ...
Paraburkholderia has become a recognized bacterial genus since it harbors many species with proven ability to promote plant growth and health. Among the plant growth promotion properties, the enzymatic reduction of dinitrogen (N2) to ammonia, known as biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), is one of ...

It has been recently proposed to divide the genus Burkholderia into seven distinct groups; these include Paraburkholderia, Robbsia, Pararobbsia, Mycetohabitans, Trinickia, Caballeronia, and Burkholderia sensu stricto22–26. The latter includes species related to B. mallei, B. pseudomallei, ...
and Paraburkholderia spp. from 50% of the 52 colonies sampled, indicating that family Burkholderiaceae are common fungus garden inhabitants of a diverse range of fungus-growing ant genera. Using antimicrobial inhibition bioassays, we found that 28 out of 32 isolates inhibited at least one Escov...
