Genomic complexity and plasticity ofBurkholderia cepacia [PDF]
Burkholderia cepacia has attracted attention because of its extraordinary degradative abilities and its potential as a pathogen for plants and for humans. This bacterium was formerly considered to belong to the genus Pseudomonas in the gamma-subclass of the Proteobacteria, but recently has been assigned to the beta-subclass is based on rrn gene ...
