Query: NC_010529:296500 Cupriavidus taiwanensis plasmid pRALTA, complete sequence Lineage: Cupriavidus taiwanensis; Cupriavidus; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Cupriavidus taiwanensis LMG19424 was isolated from the root nodule of the legume Mimosa pudica in Taiwan. Cupriavidus taiwanensis, also called Ralstonia taiwanensis or Wautersia taiwanensis is similar to bacteria from the Agrobacterium and Rhizobium genera that form nitrogen-fixing nodules in the roots of various leguminous plants. However, Cupriavidus taiwanensis is only distantly related to these other root nodule-forming bacteria. In Cupriavidus taiwanensis the nodule formation and nitrogen fixation genes are contained a 0.5Mb plasmid.

General Information: Isolated from soil enriched with anthranilate at 41C, Berkeley, CA, USA. This species is associated with infections in cystic fibrosis patients. It is an important opportunistic pathogen, colonizing the lungs and associated with a decrease in long-term survival. This species is a member of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, although it does not appear to spread from patient to patient as do the other members of the group.
