| Paraburkholderia tropica |
Description is based mostly on API 20NE, API ZYM, API 50CH and Biolog GN2 results.
Positive results for catalase, alpha-cymotrypsin, beta-glucosidase (weak reaction), nitrate reduction to nitrite (nitrite is not further
reduced), oxidase, Tween 40 and 80 hydrolysis, urease and valine arylamidase (weak reaction).
Can assimilate adonitol, cellobiose, D- and L-fucose, beta-gentiobiose, rhamnose, ribose, N-acetylglucosamine, DL-arabinose,
D-arabitol, D-fructose, galactose, gluconate, D-glucose, glycerol, inositol, 2-ketogluconate, malate, mannitol, D-mannose, DL-lactate,
phenylacetate, sorbitol, D-xylose, 3-hydroxybenzoate, acetate, adipate (weak reaction), caprate, citrate (weak reaction), propionate,
suberate and n-valerate.
Negative results for cystine arylamidase, beta-galactosidase (ONPG and PNPG), gelatin hydrolysis, indole production, lipase and
starch hydrolysis.
No assimilation of amygdalin, L-arabitol, arbutin, dulcitol, 5-ketogluconate, maltose (positive in Kang's study), D-raffinose, sucrose,
D-tagatose, xylitol, L-xylose, erythritol, glycogen (positive in Kang's study), inulin, melezitose, melibiose, methyl alpha-glucoside,
methyl alpha-D-mannoside, methyl beta-xyloside, L-sorbose, starch, D-turanose, itaconate, malonate and L-histidine.
Variable results (usually positive) for the assimilation of lactose, D-lyxose, salicin and trehalose.

Gram-negative slightly curved rods, 0.7-0.8 / 1.5-1.6 μm, occuring singly. Capsule is
present. Motile by means of one to four polar flagella. Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate
granules are accumulated.

Colonies on LGI-P solid medium, are small with a yellow centre and white margins.
Colonies on BAc plates are yellowish, round, smooth and convex with entire margins.
Growth and acetylene reduction to ethylene are observed in nitrogen-free semi-solid
media. Aerobic metabolism but can fix nitrogen microaerobically. Grows at 22-40 ºC;
optimum temperature is 30 ºC. Grows on MacConkey medium at 29 ºC (not at 37 ºC).
