Species code:	BURCC
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Burkholderiales; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderia; Burkholderia cepacia complex (TaxID: 406425) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) comprises at least nine closely related species which can be correctly identified only by polyphasic taxonomic approaches. Members of the complex are among the most metabolically versatile microorganisms known as they grow on more than 200 organic compounds, fix N2 and carry multiple antibiotic resistances. They are involved in important processes such as biodegradation of pollutants, biocontrol of root diseases but some also cause disease in plants, animals and humans. Bcc strains are isolated from very different habitats, including soil, rhizospheres, streams and infected plants, animals and human tissues, especially lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Bcc strains have large and plastic genomes comprised of multiple (2 to 4) replicons, which is thought to give them their ecological versatility. Burkholderia cenocepacia is a Gram-negative bacterium which is ubiquitous in the environment and may cause a number of diseases in plants. B.cenocepacia strain MC0-3 was recovered from the maize rhizosphere at a density of 100 to 1,000 cells per g in Michigan, USA in August 2004. It was shown to display water-soaking activity in onion pathogenicity tests, but neither maceration nor chlorosis symptoms and no nitrogen fixation capabilities were evidenced (modified from http://genome.jgi-psf.org/finished_microbes/burc3/burc3.home.html).
