Pantoea

Pantoea is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria of the family Erwiniaceae, recently separated from the genus Enterobacter. This genus includes at least 20 species.[1] Pantoea bacteria are yellow pigmented,[1] ferment lactose, are motile, and form mucoid colonies.[2] Some species show quorum sensing ability that could drive different gene expression, hence controlling certain physiological activities.[3]
