Species code:	BURXL
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Burkholderiales; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderia (TaxID: 266265) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Burkholderia xenovorans (strain LB400), formerly known as B. fungorum, has one of the largest prokaryotic genomes (9.7 Mb) and is one of the best aerobic PCB degrader. It was isolated from a PCB-containing landfill near in upper New York State by a research team at General Electric Research. It oxidizes more than 20 PCB congeners including some with 4,5 and 6 chlorine substitutions on the biphenyl rings. Three pathways for degradation or the benzoate intermediates from biphenyl oxidation have been found in this organism. It fixes nitrogen. This strain is known by many names. Originally is was described as Pseudomonas cepacia and later, in succession, Burkholderia cepacia, Burkholderia spp., Burkholderia fungorum.
