Lelliottia

Brady, Carrie L.

Abstract

The genus Lelliottia includes species regularly isolated from water, soil, spoiled fruit and vegetables, elm trees suffering from “wetwood” disease, and also from clinical samples. Cells are Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile rods. Species are mesophilic, favoring growth temperatures of 30–35°C. Carbon sources such as glucose, cellobiose, fructose, galactose, maltose, 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. The major fatty acids are C16:0, C17:0 cyclo, C18:1 ω7c, and summed features 2 (iso-C16:1 and/or C14:0 3-OH) and 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH).

DNA G + C content (mol%): 52.8–56.0 (genome analysis).

Type species: Lelliottia nimipressuralis Brady et al. 2013, VL154 (basonym: “Erwinia nimipressuralis” Carter 1945).
