paraburkholderia sacchari paraburkholderia sacchari paraburkholderia sacchari is a species of bacteria in the phylum pseudomonadota. it was isolated in the 1990s from sugarcane crop soil (são paulo state, brazil), and later identified as a new bacterial species, originally named as burkholderia sacchari. paraburkholderia sacchari was found to be capable of creating and accumulating polyhydroxyalkanoates (pha) by incorporating different monomers. this strain was subject of a number of genetic and bioproccess engineering studies conducted worldwide aiming to establish pha production from different substrates, especially using agro-industrial byproducts. paraburkholderia sacchari scientific classification domain: bacteria phylum: pseudomonadota class: betaproteobacteria order: burkholderiales family: burkholderiaceae genus: paraburkholderia species: p. sacchari binomial name paraburkholderia sacchari(brämer et al. 2001) sawana et al. 2015 synonyms burkholderia sacchari brämer et al. 2001
