title: Polyhydroxyalkanoate-accumulating bacterium isolated from soil of a sugar-cane plantation in Brazil.
abstract: Strain IPT101T, isolated from the soil of a sugar-cane plantation in Brazil, was analysed in a polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain produces polyhydroxyalkanoates from sucrose and other carbon sources. Morphological, physiological and biochemical data as well as 16S rDNA, whole-cell protein and fatty acid analyses indicated that strain IPT101T represents a new species in the genus Burkholderia. The name Burkholderia sacchari sp. nov. is proposed, with strain IPT101T (= LMG 19450T = CCT 6771T) as the type strain.
