Abstract excerpt
A thiosulfate-oxidizing facultative chemolithoautotrophic Burkholderia sp. strain ATSB13(T) was previously isolated from rhizosphere soil of tobacco plant. Strain ATSB13(T) was aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, rod shaped and motile by means of sub-terminal flagellum. Strain ATSB13(T) exhibited mixotrophic growth in a medium containing thiosulfate plus acetate. A phylogenetic study based on 16S rRNA gene sequence...
