Burkholderiales: NCBI 80840, [order]

Back to details

| Burkholderia/Oxalobacter/Ralstonia group| Burkholderiales| Burkholderiales Garrity et al. 2006

1. Environmental Roles: Many Burkholderiales species are found in diverse environments, including soil and water. Some members of this order play essential roles in nutrient cycling and can contribute to the degradation of organic matter in the environment.

2. Plant Interactions: Some Burkholderiales bacteria form associations with plants, acting as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) or contributing to nitrogen fixation. These interactions can positively impact plant health and growth.

3. Bioremediation: Certain Burkholderiales bacteria have been studied for their bioremediation capabilities. They can degrade or transform various environmental pollutants, contributing to the cleanup of contaminated sites.

4. Pathogenicity: While many Burkholderiales bacteria are beneficial or neutral in environmental and agricultural contexts, some members of this order can be opportunistic pathogens. For example, bacteria such as Burkholderia cepacia can cause infections, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions. Infections with Burkholderia species can lead to respiratory issues, particularly in individuals with cystic fibrosis.

5. Antibiotic Production: Some Burkholderiales bacteria are known to produce antibiotics. This can have implications for their interactions with other microorganisms in the environment and may have potential applications in medicine or agriculture.

6. Nitrogen Cycling: Certain Burkholderiales bacteria are involved in nitrogen cycling processes, including nitrogen fixation. This is important for making nitrogen available to plants and supporting ecosystems.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
