HAMAP: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (strain R551-3) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (strain R551-3)
Species code: STRM5
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Xanthomonadales; Xanthomonadaceae; Stenotrophomonas; Stenotrophomonas maltophilia group (TaxID: 391008) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: The Xanthomonadaceae are a family of Gram negative bacteria belonging to the order Xanthomonadales in the gammaproteobacteria. They are typically characterized as environmental organisms and are found in soil and water, as well as plant tissues. Many Xanthomonadaceae, especially species from the genera Xanthomonas and Xylella, cause plant diseases. Only one, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, has isolates known to be opportunistic human pathogens.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (strain R551-3) is aerobic endophitic bacterium isolated from Populus trichocarpa x deltoides cv. "Hoogvorst". It represents the second most commonly found endophytic species in poplar. Identical bacteria were isolated from the poplar rhizosphere, root and stem. S. maltophilia 551-3 is closely related to S. maltophilia K279a (based on 16S rDNA sequence). A comparison between the two genome sequences should allow identifying gene functions that are a prerequisite for the endophytic behavior of S. maltophilia R551-3 and its successful colonization of poplar. S. maltophilia represents a bacterial species of potential agronomic importance. Traits of S. maltophilia associated with biocontrol mechanisms include antibiotic production, extracellular enzyme activities such as protease and chitinase, and rhizosphere colonization potential (adapted from http://genome.jgi-psf.org/stema/stema.home.html).
