Abstract: 

Pseud.och.ro.bac'trum. Gr. adj. pseudês, false; N.L. neut. n. Ochrobactrum, a bacterial genus name; N.L. neut. n. Pseudochrobactrum, false Ochrobactrum.

Proteobacteria / Alphaproteobacteria / Rhizobiales / Brucellaceae / Pseudochrobactrum

The genus Pseudochrobactrum is a member of the family Brucellaceae. It is currently represented by four species. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis the genus is most closely related to the genera Paenochrobactrum, Falsochrobactrum, Ochrobactrum, and Brucella. Cells are nonmotile, non-spore-forming rods, Gram-negative and oxidase-positive showing an oxidative metabolism. The quinone system consists mainly of ubiquinone Q-10. Polyamine patterns comprise spermidine and putrescine as major compounds and 1,3-diaminopropane and spermine in minor amounts. Predominant polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PME), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), and phosphatidylcholine (PC). The fatty acid profile contains high amounts of C_18:1ω7c and moderate amounts of C_18:0 and C_19:0 cyclo ω8c. Negative for a Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis specific antigen (according to the assay of Baily et al., 1992).

DNA G + C content (mol%): approximately 51 (HPLC).

Type species: Pseudochrobactrum asaccharolyticum Kämpfer, Rosselló-Mora, Scholz, Welinder-Olsson, Falsen and Blusse 2006, 1826^VP.
