Pluralibacter

Brady, Carrie

Abstract

Pluralibacter species are regularly isolated from clinical samples, cosmetics, environmental sources including water, and vegetables and cereals as well as pear trees suffering from brown leaf spot disease. Cells are Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile rods. Species are mesophilic, favouring growth temperatures of 30 – 36 °C. Carbon sources such as glucose, L-arabinose, cellobiose, fructose, galactose, maltose, β-methyl-D-glucoside, D-mannitol, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine are readily assimilated. Species form a monophyletic clade when phylogenetic analysis is based on multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) or whole genome sequences. Major fatty acids are C14:0, C16:0, C17:0 cyclo and C18:1ω7c and the DNA G + C content is 57.0 – 60.0 mol % (Tm).
Type species: Pluralibacter gergoviae (Brenner et al. 1980) Brady et al. 2013.
