Dickeya zeae Ech1591

Names Dickeya zeae Ech1591
Accession numbers NC_012912
Background Dickeya zeae (strain Ech1591) formerly Erwinia chrysanthemi is a facultative aero-/anaerobic phytopathogenic bacterium that causes soft rot diseases on many crops. This organism produces pectinolytic enzymes which break down plant cell walls allowing for the spread of disease. D. zeae catabolizes glucose by a fermentative pathway and reduce nitrates to nitrites. Pectinolytic, produce indole and grow at 36 degrees Celsius. Catabolize (+)-L-arabinose, myo-inositol, (+)-D-malate, malonate, D-mannose, mucate, saccharate and mesotartrate, but do not catabolize (+)-D-trehalose, methyl a-glucoside, (+)-D-arabitol or sorbitol. It is isolated from soft rot and wilt of a various range of plants, such as Zea mays, Ananas comosus, Brachiaria ruziziensis, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Musa spp., Nicotiana tabacum, Oryza sativa and Solanum tuberosum, and from water. D. zeae possesses more than nine O-serogroups (O : 1, O: 4, O: 5, O: 6, O: 8, O: 9, O: 10, O: 11, O: 12, and untyped strains). (Adaptated from PMID: 16014461). (EBI Integr8)
