The Prokaryotes

Abstract

The family Burkholderiaceae belongs to the order Burkholderiales within the class Betaproteobacteria. It contains the genera Burkholderia (the type genus), Chitinimonas, Cupriavidus, Lautropia, Limnobacter, Pandoraea, Paucimonas, Polynucleobacter, Ralstonia, Thermothrix, and Wautersia. The family is characterized by the presence of ecologically extremely diverse organisms and contains truly environmental saprophytic organisms, phytopathogens, opportunistic pathogens, as well as primary pathogens for humans and animals.
