Agrobacteria is a soil bacteria that works as a natural genetic engineer. In nature, it forces plants to become good hosts by inserting genes into plant cells causing plants to make metabolites agroba [..]

A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria. With the exception of agrobacterium radiobacter, members of this genus invade the crown, roots, and stems of plants, via wounds, causing the transformation of the plant cells into proliferating tumour cells. (12 Dec 1998)

species An aerobic, oxidase-positive, gram-negative bacillus that produces nonpigmented to light beige colonies. Some colonies may be mucoid due to the production of a slime capsule by the organism. It is isolated from plants and soil. It is primarily a plant pathogen and has not been reported as a cause of human infections. Agrobacterium radiobact [..]
