| Abstract |
Nine Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria were isolated during environmental surveys for the ecological niche of Burkholderia pseudomallei, the etiological agent of melioidosis, in the Northern Territory of Australia. They represented two multi-locus sequence analysis based clusters, referred to as Bcc B and Bcc L. Three additional environmental and clinical Bcc B isolates were identified upon deposition of the sequences in the PubMLST database. Analysis of the concatenated nucleotide sequence divergence levels within both groups (1.4% and 1.9%, respectively) and towards established Bcc species (4.0% and 3.9%, respectively) demonstrated that both taxa represented novel Bcc species. All twelve isolates were further characterized using 16S rRNA and recA gene sequence analysis, RAPD analysis, DNA base content determination, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, and biochemical profiling. recA gene sequence analysis revealed a remarkable diversity within each of these taxa, but, together, the results supported the affiliation of both taxa to the Burkholderia cepacia complex. Bcc B strains can be differentiated from most other Bcc by the assimilation of maltose. Bcc L strains can be differentiated from other Bcc by the absence of assimilation of N-acetylglucosamine. The names Burkholderia stagnalis sp. nov. with type strain LMG 28156T (CCUG 65686T) and Burkholderia territorii sp. nov. with type strain LMG 28158T (CCUG 65687T), are proposed for Bcc B and Bcc L bacteria, respectively. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 July 2016.
All research outputs
#8,535,684
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
#4,027
of 10,706 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,401
of 279,238 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
#69
of 172 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,706 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,238 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 172 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
