Ochrobactrum is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the Brucellaceae. The genus has been described by Holmes in 1988 and Ochrobactrum anthropi was proposed as the type species of the genus.[2] Further work led to the recognition of 18 other species:
- Ochrobactrum anthropi[3]
- Ochrobactrum ciceri[3]
- Ochrobactrum cytisi[3]
- Ochrobactrum daejeonense[3]
- Ochrobactrum endophyticum[3]
- Ochrobactrum gallinifaecis[3]
- Ochrobactrum grignonense[3]
- Ochrobactrum guangzhouense[3]
- Ochrobactrum haematophilum[3]
- Ochrobactrum intermedium[3]
- Ochrobactrum lupini[3]
- Ochrobactrum oryzae[3]
- Ochrobactrum pecoris[3]
- Ochrobactrum pituitosum[3]
- Ochrobactrum pseudintermedium[3]
- Ochrobactrum pseudogrignonense[3]
- Ochrobactrum rhizosphaerae[3]
- Ochrobactrum thiophenivorans[3]
- Ochrobactrum tritici[3]
The Ochrobactrum strains are all Gram-negative, short rods, straight or slightly curved with one end flame-shaped. The cells are about 0.6-1.2 in length. They are not spore forming, strictly aerobic and not fermentative.
The genomes of most Ochrobactrum species are complex with two independent circular chromosomes often associated with plasmids.
