Agrobacterium Conn 1942

The list here reflects the classification and nomenclature of plant pathogenic Agrobacterium as discussed in Holmes & Roberts (1981), Bradbury (1986) and Young et al. (1992). The pathogenic state of strains, as `rhizogenic', `tumourigenic', or `saprophytic' forms, is expressed at an infrasubspecific or informal level.

Agrobacterium radiobacter (Beijerinck & van Delden 1902) Conn 1942

see Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Agrobacterium rhizogenes (Riker, Banfield, Wright, Keitt & Sagen 1930) Conn 1942

ATCC 11325; CFBP 2408; ICMP 5794; LMG 150; NCPPB 2991

Depending upon the presence or absence of plasmids bearing tumour-inducing pathogenicity genes, strains of this species exist in `tumourigenic', `rhizogenic', or `saprophytic' forms.

Agrobacterium rubi (Hildebrand 1940) Starr & Weiss 1943

ATCC 13335; CFBP 1317; ICMP 6428; LMG 156; NCPPB 1854

ATCC 23308; CFBP 2413; ICMP 5856; LMG 187; NCPPB 2437

Depending upon the presence or absence of plasmids bearing tumour-inducing pathogenicity genes, strains of this species exist in `tumourigenic', `rhizogenic', or `saprophytic' forms.

This genus comprises species previously classified in Pseudomonas but which were distinguished by common differences in their rRNA sequences. P. syzygii, and P. rubrisubalbicans also share a high level of rRNA homology with the species of this genus and may also be members of Burkholderia or a similar genus.

ATCC 25418; CFBP 2429; ICMP 512; LMG 2155; NCPPB 2151

The combination Burkholderia caryophylli was proposed without examination of the type strain of Pseudomonas caryophylli and therefore was not valid when first published. This defect can be taken to have been corrected in subsequent studies (Urakami et al. 1994, Gillis et al. 1995).

= Pseudomonas gladioli Severini 1913

ATCC 10248; CFBP 2427; ICMP 3950; LMG 2216; NCPPB 1891

The combination Burkholderia gladioli was proposed without examination of the type strain of Pseudomonas gladioli and therefore was not valid when first published. This defect can be taken to have been corrected in subsequent studies (Urakami et al. 1994, Gillis et al. 1995).
