Pantoea

Abstract

Pan.toe ' a . Gr. adj. pantoios of all sorts and sources; M.L. fem. n. Pantoea [bacteria] from diverse [geographical and ecological] sources. Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Enterobacteriales / Enterobacteriaceae / Pantoea Straight rods, 0.5–1.3 × 1.0–3.0 µm. Nonencapsulated. Nonsporeforming. Some strains form symplasmata. Most strains are motile and are peritrichously flagellated . Gram negative. Colonies on nutrient agar are smooth, translucent, and more or less convex with entire margins or heterogenous in consistency and adhering to the agar. Colonies are yellow, pale beige to pale reddish yellow, or nonpigmented. Facultatively anaerobic. Oxidase negative. Glucose dehydrogenase and gluconate dehydrogenase are produced and are active without an added cofactor. Acid is produced from the fermentation of D ‐fructose, D ‐galactose, trehalose, and D ‐ribose. Most strains are Voges–Proskauer positive. Lysine and ornithine are not decarboxylated . Urease negative. Pectate is not degraded. H 2 S is not produced from thiosulfate. Optimum temperature 30°C. N ‐acetyl‐ D ‐glucosamine, L ‐aspartate, D ‐fructose, D ‐galactose, D ‐gluconate, D ‐glucosamine, D ‐glucose, L ‐glutamate, glycerol, D ‐mannose, D ‐ribose, and D ‐trehalose are utilized as sole sources of carbon and energy. 5‐Aminovalerate, benzoate, caprate, caprylate, m ‐coumarate, ethanolamine, gentisate, glutarate, histamine, 3‐hydroxybenzoate, 4‐hydroxybenzoate, 3‐hydroxybutyrate, itaconate, maltitol, D ‐melezitose, 1‐ O ‐methyl‐α‐ D ‐glucoside, palatinose, 3‐phenylpropionate, propionate, L ‐sorbose, tricarballylate, tryptamine, D ‐turanose, and L ‐tyrosine are not utilized as sole sources of carbon and energy. Pantoea spp. are isolated from plants, seeds, fruits, soils, water, and from humans (urine, blood, wounds, internal organs), and animals. Some strains are (or have been thought to be) phytopathogenic. The mol % G + C of the DNA is : 49.7–60.6. Type species : Pantoea agglomerans (Ewing and Fife 1975) Gavini Mergaert, Beji, Mielcarek, Izard, Kersters and De Ley 1989b, 343 ( Enterobacter agglomerans (Beijerinck 1888) Ewing and Fife 1972, 10.)

Isolation and identification ofPantoea agglomeransfrom the inflated bag with dried hop pellets stored under a modified atmosphere

“…Since the micro‐organism was able to utilize hop components, it could belong to the phyllosphere micro‐organisms naturally occurring on the hop plant or to hop plant pathogens. This corresponds to studies in which P. agglomerans was identified as a plant epiphyte, endophyte or pathogen (Grimont and Grimont 2005; Edens et al . 2006) or as a hop‐associated bacterium that caused hand dermatitis, pruritus or airborne dermatitis in workers growing hops (Śpiewak et al .…”

Bioconversion of Cellulose Into Hydrogen, Biogas and Organic Acids Using Microbial Consortium From a Pulp and Paper Mill Wastewater Treatment Plant

“…and with Raoultella sp. The species of Klebsiella were isolated from water bodies that receive paper and pulp mill wastewaters, 50 reinforcing the activity of these bacteria in our study which used sludge from a pulp and paper mill WWTP as inoculum. Both, Klebsiella and Raoultella, have the ability to degrade cellobiose 50 and could have favored the carbohydrates released from cellulose degradation.…”

Seasonal Microbial Conditions of Locally Made Yoghurt (Shalom) Marketed in Some Regions of Cameroon

“…This together with the isolation of indicator organisms shows failure of GMP in industries and local producers that manufactured these yoghurts from which they were isolated [ 47 ]. The genus Pantoea includes several species of which others can cause disease in humans such as tumors [ 48 , 49 ]. However, E. coli, an index organism, indicates the presence of other pathogenic microorganisms and has been linked to diarrhoeal diseases, urethrocystitis, prostatitis, and pyelonephritis [ 23 ].…”
