2.1. Burkholderia Strains Used for Genome Comparison

For this comparative genome investigation of endophytic Burkholderia strains, complete genome sequences from 18 well-studied endophytic and pathogenic strains were selected (Table 1), along with 33 type strains of Burkholderia (Table 2). The selected species included nine endophytic strains, Burkholderia sp. MS389 [27], Burkholderia sp. MS455 [28], Burkholderia stabilis EB159 [29], B. cepacia SSG [30], B. cenocepacia 869T2 [31], B. cenocepacia YG-3 [32], B. vietnamiensis KJ006 [33], B. vietnamiensis RS1 [34], and Burkholderia sp. LS-044 [35]. Nine pathogenic strains were selected, including five plant pathogenic strains, B. plantarii ATCC 43744 [36], B. glumae LMG 2196 [37], B. glumae BGR1 [38], B. gladioli ATCC 10248 [37], B. cepacia ATCC 25416 [39], and four CF opportunistic mammalian pathogens, B. cenocepacia J2315 [40], B. stabilis ATCC BAA-67 [41], B. multivorans ATCC BAA-247 [37], and B. dolosa AU0158 [37].
