Old synonym: Burkholderia dilworthii De Meyer et al. 2014.
Gram-negative rods, 0.9 x 2.0 μm. Motile.
Colonies are white, smooth, round, 0.4-2.0 mm in diameter and convex with entire
margins on 1/2 LA medium. Growth occurs on 1/2 LA medium at 15-37 ºC but not at 4,
10 or 40 ºC. Can grow in Nutrient Broth with 0-10% NaCl and at pH 5.5-8 at 28 ºC.
Isolated from Lebeckia ambigua root nodules collected near the Modder river, South Africa.
Resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, penicillin and streptomycin. Sensitive to tetracycline. Intermediate to kanamycin.
Undetermined.

Description is based mostly on API 20NE and API 20E strips (bioMerieux) results.
Positive results for arginine dihydrolase (weak reaction), catalase, beta-galactosidase (weak reaction), nitrate reduction, tryptophan
deaminase, oxidase, fermentation/oxidation of D-glucose.
Can assimilate citrate, D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine, potassium gluconate, adipic acid,
phenylacetic acid and malate.
Negative results for gelatinase beta-glucosidase, H2S production, indole production, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase,
urease, oxidation of D-mannitol, inositol, D-sorbitol, L-rhamnose, sucrose, melibiose and amygdalin.
No assimilation of maltose and capric acid.
