Burkholderia spp. is a main component of the sugarcane bacterial community in Brazil, which controls fungal infections by producing different antifungal compounds secreted in response to the presence of phytopathogenic fungi. We have shown that strains with high-level intrinsic antimicrobial resistance (iAMR) and increased bacterial virulence in the Galleria mellonella infection model dis…
Burkholderia spp. is the main component of the sugarcane cultivable bacterial community. Members of this genus produce antifungal compounds and serve to phytopathogens control and plant growth promotion. However, Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) are described as potential opportunistic agents of pulmonary infection and present intrinsic antimicrobial (iAMR) against different classes of …
Endophytic microorganisms are fungi or bacteria that inhabit the interior of the plant without causing damage to the host. These micro-organisms have potential as agents of biological control and source of new molecules of biotechnological interest. In this context, knowledge of the genetic/molecular mechanisms involved in the endophyte-plant interaction and in the synthesis pathways of m…

The Burkholderia genus is composed of a broad range of species with phenotypical variations that allow them to occupy different niches, colonizing environments with contrasting characteristics, such as soil, rhizosphere, freshwater, and the inner plant or animal tissues. Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a group of species that present a great relevance for medical and agricultural st…
In the last decades, there has been an increase in the world concern regarding environmental problems, mainly due to the increase of industrial activity and the great population growth. With these events, the problems associated with environmental contamination have reached large dimensions and can be observed through changes in air, water and soil quality. Industrial activities, although…
The genus Methylobacterium corresponds a group of methylotrophic Gram negative bacteria, which grow in pink pigmented colonies due the synthesis of carotenoids, being known as Pink pigmented facultative methylotrophic bacteria (PPFM). Bacteria belonging to this genus can be observed in association with different plant species, in which they can act as bio-control agents and/or growth prom…
The Burkholderia genus is composed by Gram-negative bacteria, which have high physiological and genetic diversity. Burkholderia is the object of studies that aim at various biotechnological applications as biocontrol agents, plant growth promoters, and bioremediation as producers of major molecules of interest. The Burkholderia seminalis TC3.4.2R3 strain is an endophytic organism isolated…

The genus Burkholderia present species associated to phytopathogenicity, plant growth promotion, biological control and production biological active compounds. However, some environmental strains have been isolated from immunocompromised patients, presenting pro-inflammatory activity or causing pneumonia. In this context, the wcb cluster, presents approximately 24 genes involved in the sy…
Burkholderia is the object of studies that aim at various biotechnological applications as biocontrol agents, plant growth promoters and bioremediation as producers of major molecules of interest. The Burkholderia seminalis TC3.4.2R3 strain is an endophytic organism isolated from sugarcane roots and shows the ability to inhibit plant pathogenic fungus and bacteria. Gene clusters of B. sem…
Several compounds with antimicrobial activity produced by Burkholderia spp. have been investigated, which could replace conventional chemical pesticides. Gene clusters of Burkholderia seminalis strain TC3.4.2R3 associated to the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds have been identified by analyzing a mutant library. Among these genes we identified a gene encoding a glycosyltransferase (wc…
