Old synonym:
Burkholderia zhejiangensis Lu et al. 2012.
Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods, 0.2-0.5 x 1.0-1.6 μm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on TSA are opaque, moist, smooth and convex, with regular margins.
Growth occurs at 4-40 ºC (optimum 33 ºC) and pH 4.0-10.0 (optimum pH 7.0).
Isolated from sludge collected from the wastewater-treatment system of a pesticide-manufacturing company in Zhejiang, China.
Can degrade methyl-parathion, an organophosphorus pesticide.
Undetermined.
