Query: NC_012721:1986436 Burkholderia glumae BGR1 chromosome 2, complete genome
Lineage: Burkholderia glumae; Burkholderia; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Burkholderia glumae causes seedling rot and panicle blight of rice. Panicle blight is a significant problem in the southern USA during unusually warm growing seasons. Infection of rice with Burkholderia glumae causes sterility, or abortion, of the rice kernels, and may inhibit seed germination. Burkholderia glumae also produces an industrially important extracellular lipase.
Subject: 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.
