Burkholderia jiangsuensis Liu et al. 2014.
Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods, 0.6-0.9 x 1.3-1.6 μm. Motile by a subpolar flagellum. Non-spore-
forming.
Colonies after incubation on PY agar plates at 30 ºC for 2 days,  are circular,
yellowish, moist and translucent with a regular margin, 1.5-2.0 mm in diameter.
Grows at 0-1% NaCl (w/v) (optimum 0.5%), at 15-45 ºC (optimum 30 ºC) and at
pH 5-9 (optimum pH 7).
Isolated from methyl parathion-contaminated soil of a pesticide manufacturing company in Jiangsu Province, PR China. Can degrade
methyl parathion, a common organophosphorus pesticide, which can be utilized as the sole carbon source for growth.
Undetermined.
