Burkholderia phymatum is a soil bacterium able to develop a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with species of the legume genus Mimosa, and is frequently found associated specifically with Mimosa pudica. The type strain of the species, STM 815(T), was isolated from a root nodule in French Guiana in 2000. The strain is an aerobic, motile, non-spore forming, Gram-negative rod, and is a highly competitive strain for nodulation compared to other Mimosa symbionts, as it also nodulates a broad range of other legume genera and species. The 8,676,562 bp genome is composed of two chromosomes (3,479,187 and 2,697,374 bp), a megaplasmid (1,904,893 bp) and a plasmid hosting the symbiotic functions (595,108 bp).
栖瘤固氮伯克霍尔德菌是一种土壤细菌，能够与含羞草属豆科植物形成固氮共生关系，并且经常被发现与含羞草特别相关。该物种的模式菌株STM 815(T)于2000年从法属圭亚那的一个根瘤中分离出来。该菌株是需氧的、可运动的、不形成芽孢的革兰氏阴性杆菌，与其他含羞草共生体相比，它在结瘤方面是一种竞争力很强的菌株，因为它还能使其他多种豆科属和物种结瘤。其8,676,562 bp的基因组由两条染色体（3,479,187和2,697,374 bp）、一个大质粒（1,904,893 bp）和一个承载共生功能的质粒（595,108 bp）组成。
