JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 51 IS 5 SP 1709 OP 1713 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-51-5-1709 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Strain IPT101T, isolated from the soil of a sugar-cane plantation in Brazil, was analysed in a polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain produces polyhydroxyalkanoates from sucrose and other carbon sources. Morphological, physiological and biochemical data as well as 16S rDNA, whole-cell protein and fatty acid analyses indicated that strain IPT101T represents a new species in the genus Burkholderia. The name Burkholderia sacchari sp. nov. is proposed, with strain IPT101T (= LMG 19450T = CCT 6771T) as the type strain., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-51-5-1709
