Pseudomonas cocovenenans, the producer of bongkrekic acid and toxoflav
in, has been described previously by us (N.-X. Zhao, M.-S. Ma, Y.-P. Z
hang, and D.-C. Xu, Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 40:452-355, 1990) in term
s of more than 180 phenotypic traits, G+C content, and DNA relatedness
, The bacterium conformed to section II of the genus Pseudomonas, Here
, its partial 16S rRNA gene sequence was compared with those of Burkho
lderia spp, and the results verified that P. cocovenenans is a Burkhol
deria species, On the basis of the phenotypic and genetic characterist
ics, P. cocovenenans is transferred to the genus Burkholderia as Burkh
olderia cocovenenans comb. nov.
