Query: NC_007650:420745 Burkholderia thailandensis E264 chromosome II, complete sequence

Lineage: Burkholderia thailandensis; Burkholderia; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a rice field sample in Thailand. Burkholderia thailandensis is a common soil saprophyte (lives on decaying organic matter in the soil). This bacterium is very similar to the human and animal pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei but appears to be avirulent. Distinguishing the two organisms is very difficult and may depend on using monoclonal antibodies to detect differences in exopolysaccharide production.

Subject: NC_010627:233572 Burkholderia phymatum STM815 plasmid pBPHY02, complete sequence

Lineage: Burkholderia phymatum; Burkholderia; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from a root nodule of Machaerium lunatum in French Guiana. This species forms a symbiotic relationship with tropical legumes, where it is involved with nirogen fixation in the root nodules.
