The genus contains the type species B. cepacia (Yabuuchi et al., 1993). The species from this genus are gram-negative, straight or slightly curved rods, which exhibit motility mediated by one or more polar flagella. Only, B. mallei lacks flagella and is non-motile. The species do not produce sheaths or prosthecae and do not go through any resting stages. Most species are able to accumulate and utilize poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) for growth. The species are mostly aerobic chemoorganotrophs, but some species are capable of anaerobic respiration using nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor. The G+C content for the members of the genus ranges from 65.7 to 68.5%. The members of the genus form a distinct monophyletic clade in phylogenetic trees, and they are distinguished from all other bacteria by the conserved sequence indels reported in this work in the following proteins: Periplasmic amino acid-binding protein, 4-hydroxybenzoate 3-monooxygenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, Sarcosine oxidase subunit alpha, a putative lipoprotein, and a putative lyase (Table 2).
The genus contains the type species Paraburkholderia graminis comb. nov. (Basonym: Burkholderia graminis, Viallard et al., 1998) The species from this genus are gram-negative straight or slightly curved rods with one or more polar flagella. Other morphological and metabolic characteristics are similar to genus Burkholderia. The G+C content for the members of the genus ranges from 61.4 to 65.0%. The species are not associated with humans. The members of this genus generally form a distinct clade in the neighborhood of genus Burkholderia in phylogenetic trees, and they lack the molecular signatures which are specific for Burkholderia. Most of the sequenced members from this genus contain the conserved sequence indels reported in this work in the protein sequences of an unnamed dehydrogenase and a LysR family transcriptional regulator (Table 2).
