Diazotrophic endophytes of native black cottonwood and willow (2009, background): “Burkholderia are in the β-class of Proteobacteria, and their discovery within nodules in 2001 ended the dogma that only bacteria of the alpha subdivision were able to nodulate legumes (Chen et al., 2003; Moulin et al., 2001).”
2 Hydrocarbon-Degrading Sphingomonads: Sphingomonas, Sphingobium, Novosphingobium, and Sphingopyxis (2009, background): “, 2000), and the Sphingomonas genus was subdivided into four subgenera in 2001 (Takeuchi et al., 2001).”
Bacterial Communities Associated with the Leaves and the Roots of Arabidopsis thaliana (2013, background): “Sphingomonas has been isolated from a variety of environmental and plant samples [43] and some strains have a protective effect against plant pathogens [17].”
Pyrethroid-degrading Sphingobium sp. JZ-2 and the purification and characterization of a novel pyrethroid hydrolase (2009, background): “8 mol%, which fell within the range observed for other members of the genus Sphingobium, namely 62–67 mol% (Takeuchi et al., 2001).”
Sphingomonas: from diversity and genomics to functional role in environmental remediation and plant growth (2020, background): “Various classifications and reclassifications were performed for the genus, and the three new genera of Sphingomonas have been proposed, including Sphingopyxis, Novosphingobium, and Sphingobium.”
Dynamics of the bacterial community structure in the rhizosphere of a maize cultivar (2014, background): “Members of genus Chitinophaga are chitinolytic (Kim and Jung, 2007), while Sphingobium and Burkholderia can typically degrade lignin-derived aromatic compounds (Takeuchi et al., 2001; Vandenkoornhuyse et al., 2007).”
Screening for plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in Chamaecytisus proliferus (tagasaste), a forage tree-shrub legume endemic to the Canary Islands (2005, background): “paucimobilis (Takeuchi et al., 2001) are typically isolated both from clinical specimens and rhizosphere.”
