Old synonym:
Burkholderia glebae Peeters et al. 2016.
Gram-negative rods with rounded ends, 1 μm long, occuring as single units or in
pairs. Non-motile.
Colonies on trypticase soy agar after 48h incubation at 28 ºC are round, less than 0.5
mm in diameter, non-translucent, with a white-creamy color. Grows on MacConkey
agar. Growth occurs at 15-28 ºC and at pH 7-8 (pH 7 for type strain) in nutrient broth at
28 ºC. Grows aerobically (anaerobic growth not tested).
Isolated from botanical garden soil in Belgium in 2014.
Undetermined.

Description is based mostly on API 20 NE and API ZYM results.

Positive results for acid phosphatase, catalase, leucine arylamidase, oxidase, phosphoamidase and Tween 60 hydrolysis.
Can utilize glucose, arabinose, mannose, mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine, gluconate, malate, citrate and phenylacetate.

Negative results for arginine dihydrolase casein hydrolysis, cystine arylamidase, esculin hydrolysis, alpha-fucosidase, gelatin
liquefaction, alpha- and beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase,
indole production, C8 lipase, C14 lipase, alpha-mannosidase, nitrate reduction, starch hydrolysis, Tween 80 hydrolysis,  trypsin,
chymotrypsin, urease, valine arylamidase and fermentation of glucose.
No  utilization of maltose, caprate and adipate.

Variable reaction for reactions for alkaline phosphatase (type strain negative) and C4 lipase (type strain weak).
