Diversity and occurrence of Burkholderia spp. in the natural environment

摘要: Both in natural and managed ecosystems, bacteria are common inhabitants of the phytosphere internal tissues plants. Probably most diverse environmentally adaptable plant-associated belong to genus Burkholderia. This is well-known for its human, animal plant pathogenic members, including Burkholderia cepacia complex. However, it also contains species strains that beneficial plants can be potentially exploited biotechnological processes. Here we present an overview spp. with special emphasis on plant-Burkholderia interactions. A discussion potential utilization stable associations development low-input cropping systems provided.
