Sphingomonas melonis is a bacterium from the genus Sphingomonas which has been isolated from the plant Cucumis melo var. inodorus in Madrid in Spain. [1] [3] [4] Sphingomonas melonis can cause brown spots on melon fruits from the melon plant (Cucumis melo var. inodorus). [5] In rice plants it can have disease-preventing effects, the seed-endophytic strain Sphingomonas melonis ZJ26 that can be naturally enriched in certain rice cultivars, confers diseases resistance against a bacterial pathogen and is vertically transmitted among plant generations via their seeds.
