A Gram-negative, slightly curved rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain KMY02^T, was isolated from a forest soil in Daejeon, South Korea. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain KMY02^T was shown to belong to the family Burkholderiaceae of the Betaproteobacteria, and to be related most closely to Burkholderia hospita LMG 20598^T (98·7 %), Burkholderia caribensis LMG 18531^T (98·0 %) and Burkholderia phymatum LMG 21445^T (97·4 %). Its phylogenetic distance from all recognized species within the genus Burkholderia was less than 97 %. Chemotaxonomic data [Q-8 as the major ubiquinone; C_{16 : 0}, C_{17 : 0} cyclo, summed feature 7 (C_{18 : 1}7c/9t/12t) and C_{15 : 0} as the major fatty acids] supported the affiliation of strain KMY02^T to the genus Burkholderia. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of the strain from recognized Burkholderia species. Therefore, KMY02^T (=KCTC 12388^T=NBRC 100964^T) represents the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Burkholderia terrae sp. nov. is proposed.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KMY02^T is AB201285.

A transmission electron micrograph of a cell of strain KMY02^T and a table giving levels of DNA–DNA hybridization between this strain and the type strains of closely related Burkholderia species are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
