Burkholderia glumae

Rank: Species

Lineage: Bacteria;Proteobacteria;Betaproteobacteria;Burkholderiales;Burkholderiaceae;Burkholderia;Burkholderia glumae

Description: Burkholderia glumae causes seedling rot and panicle blight of rice. Panicle blight is a significant problem in the southern United States during unusually warm growing seasons. Infection of rice with Burkholderia glumae causes sterility, or abortion, of the rice kernels, and may inhibit seed germination. Burkholderia glumae also produces an industrially important extracellular lipase. Microbial lipases cand hydrolyze a wide variety of compounds making them useful in the pharmaceutical, detergent and food industries. More >> Less >>
