Paraburkholderia solitsugae is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the genus Paraburkholderia . The type strain, P. solitsugae 1NT, was isolated from the Arnot research forest at the same time as Paraburkholderia elongata , using agar medium supplemented with soil-extracted, solubilized organic matter. [1] P. solitsugae was named after the 'soil of hemlock trees' from which it was isolated. [2] According to the aforementioned studies, P. solitsugae is a fast-growing, metabolically versatile bacteria and possesses the capability to degrade aromatic acids.
