Both in natural and in managed ecosystems, bacteria are common inhabitants of the phytosphere and the internal tissues of plants. Probably the most diverse and environmentally adaptable plant-associated bacteria belong to the genus Burkholderia. This genus is well-known for its human, animal and plant pathogenic members, including the Burkholderia cepacia complex. However, it also contains species and strains that are beneficial to plants and can be potentially exploited in biotechnological processes. Here we present an overview of plant-associated Burkholderia spp. with special emphasis on beneficial plant-Burkholderia interactions. A discussion of the potential for utilization of stable plant-Burkholderia spp. associations in the development of low-input cropping systems is also provided.

伯克霍尔德氏菌的多样性和发生。在自然环境中。

在自然和有管理的生态系统中，细菌都是植物层和植物内部组织的常见居民。可能与植物相关的最多样化和最环保的细菌属于伯克霍尔德氏菌属。该属以其人类，动物和植物的致病成员而闻名，包括洋葱伯克霍尔德菌复合体。但是，它也包含对植物有益的物种和菌株，可以在生物技术过程中加以利用。在这里，我们概述与植物相关的伯克霍尔德氏菌。特别强调有益的植物与伯克霍尔德菌的相互作用。关于利用稳定植物伯克霍尔德氏菌的潜力的讨论。还提供了低投入耕作系统开发方面的协会。
