Abstract
Strain IPT101(T), isolated from the soil of a sugar-cane plantation in Braz il, was analysed in a polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain produces polyh ydroxyalkanoates from sucrose and other carbon sources. Morphological, phys iological and biochemical data as well as 16S rDNA, whole-cell protein and fatty acid analyses indicated that strain IPT101(T) represents a new specie s in the genus Burkholderia. The name Burkholderia sacchari sp. nov. is pro posed, with strain IPT101(T) (= LMG 19450(T) = CCT 6771(T)) as the type str ain.
