- | Two enzymes are responsible for the oxalate that is produced in the Burkholderia species. The first enzyme, ObcA, catalyzes the formation of a tetrahedral C6-CoA adduct from the substrates acetyl-COA and oxaloacetate. The second enzyme, ObcB, produces three products from the C6-CoA adduct. These products are oxalate, acetoacetate and CoA. The oxalate produced from the ''Burkholderia species'', is necessary for bacterial growth and maintaining environmental pH.<scene name='79/799595/Cartoon_view/1'> Here is the rotating image of the ''Burkhloderia species'' as a cartoon. </scene> | + | Two enzymes are responsible for the oxalate that is produced in the ''Burkholderia species''.

- | Species of Burkholderia can be involved in plant or human pathogenesis. Several diseases, such as ''B. Glumae'' which causes bacterial panicle blight in rice, or'' B. cepacia,'' which is an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised individuals, like those with cystic fibrosis or chronic granulomatous disease. It can also be involved with ''B. pseudomallei'' which can cause meliondosis, a lethal infection that leads to the formation of abscesses in internal organs. | + | Species of ''Burkholderia'' can be involved in plant or human pathogenesis.
