Agrobacterium
Conn 1942
The genus Agrobacterium is represented by species that are
indistinguishable from members of Rhizobium except that they are
pathogenic, producing rhizogenic growths or oncogenic galls rather than
symbiotic nodules (Young et al. 2001a). Characterization of the
genus is based on pathogenicity characters encoded by genes borne on
transmissible elements. The nomenclature of the genus is validly
published although its function as a special-purpose nomenclature should
be understood (Young et al. 2003). The application of species
names, radiobacter, rhizogenes and tumefaciens, may refer
to the non-pathogenic, rhizogenic or tumorigenic species respectively
(Kersters & De Ley 1984). Alternatively, they may be refer to the
natural species, A. rhizogenes and A. tumefaciens (with
A. radiobacter as a synonym) (Bradbury 1986; Holmes 1988; Holmes &
Roberts 1981; Moore et al. 2001;Young et al. 2005),
tumourigenic and rhizogenic capability of strains being indicated
(Holmes & Roberts, 1981) by designation as Ti or Ri, respectively (Young
et al. 2005).

Buchanan, Krumweide, Rogers & Smith 1920
The
homogeneity of genera in the Enterobacteriaceae that contain pathogens
of plants and animals and from other environments has been discussed
(Brenner et al. 1984). There is no recorded phenotypic
circumscription of Brenneria that distinguishes it from other
genera in the Enterobacteriaceae. Recognition of the genus Brenneria
is based solely on comparative analysis of 16S rDNA sequence data that
shows sequences representing Brenneria spp. as a separate clade
within the Enterobacteriaceae.

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology

in their investigation, thus raising doubts as to the validity of their
