Dickeya is a genus of the family Pectobacteriaceae that consists mainly of pathogens from herbaceous plants. Dickeya is the result of the reclassification of 75 strains of Pectobacterium chrysanthemi, as well as Brenneria paradisiaca CFBP 4178, into a new genus. The genus is named for American phytopathologist Robert S. Dickey. [1] Several species in this genus, such as Dickeya dadantii, are known phytopathogens. [2] [3]
Dickeya dadantii is a Gram-negative bacillus that belongs to the family Pectobacteriaceae. It was formerly known as Erwinia chrysanthemi but was reassigned as Dickeya dadantii in 2005. Members of this family are facultative anaerobes, able to ferment sugars to lactic acid, have nitrate reductase, but lack oxidases. Even though many clinical pathogens are part of the order Enterobacterales, most members of this family are plant pathogens. D. dadantii is a motile, nonsporing, straight rod-shaped cell with rounded ends, much like the other members of the genus, Dickeya. Cells range in size from 0.8 to 3.2 μm by 0.5 to 0.8 μm and are surrounded by numerous flagella (peritrichous).
Brenneria is a genus of Pectobacteriaceae, containing mostly pathogens of woody plants. This genus is named after the microbiologist Don J. Brenner.
Agromyces is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Alkalibacillus is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria).
Desulfosporosinus is a genus of strictly anaerobic, sulfate-reducing bacteria, often found in soil.
Neomegalonema perideroedes is a filamentous bacterium from the genus of Neomegalonema which has been isolated from activated bulking sludge from industrial wastewater in Grindsted in Denmark.
Erythrobacteraceae is a bacterium family in the order of Sphingomonadales.
Robert S. Dickey was an American phytopathologist, professor emeritus of Plant Pathology at the Cornell University and the namesake of the bacterial genus Dickeya.
Azospirillum is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic, non-fermentative and nitrogen-fixing bacterial genus from the family of Rhodospirillaceae. Azospirillum bacteria can promote plant growth.
Chryseomicrobium is a bacteria genus from the family of Planococcaceae.
Olivibacter is a genus from the family of Sphingobacteriaceae.
Butyricicoccus is a bacterial genus from the family of Oscillospiraceae., formerly ranked in the family of Clostridiaceae.
Caldanaerobius fijiensis is a thermophilic, obligately anaerobic and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Caldanaerobius which has been isolated from a hot spring in Fiji.
Noviherbaspirillum is a genus of bacteria in the family of Oxalobacteraceae.
Alteribacillus is a genus of bacteria from the family Bacillaceae.
Salibacterium qingdaonense is a Gram-positive and haloalkaliphilic bacterium from the genus of Salibacterium which has been isolated from crude sea salt near Qingdao in China.
Salipaludibacillus neizhouensis is a Gram-positive, facultatively alkaliphilic, slightly halophilic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped, aerobic and non-motil bacterium from the genus of Salipaludibacillus which has been isolated from a sea anemone from Neizhou Bay from the South China Sea.
Mangrovibacter is a genus in the order Enterobacterales. Members of the genus are Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, nitrogen-fixing, and rod shaped. The name Mangrovibacter derives from:
Neo-Latin noun mangrovum, mangrove; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun, a rod; bacter, nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, rod; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun Mangrovibacter, mangrove rod.
Roseivirga seohaensis is a Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacterium from the genus of Roseivirga which has been isolated from sea water from the Yellow Sea in Korea.
Alkalicoccus saliphilus is a Gram-positive and haloalkaliphilic bacterium from the genus of Alkalicoccus. It was first isolated from the algal mat of a mineral pool in the Malvizza mud volcanoes of Campania and can tolerate concentrations of up to 25% sodium chloride.
