Mixta
''Mixta'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria Bacteria (; singular: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria were am ... of the family Erwiniaceae. The members of this genus are facultatively anaerobic and motile. Background ''Mixta'' was proposed as a novel genus in 2018, based on a genomic study of members of genus '' Pantoea''. The first four species to be placed in this genus were reclassified from genus ''Pantoea''. The genus name ''Mixta'' refers to the "mixed lifestyles of species in genus."

Mixta Calida
''Mixta calida'' (formerly ''Pantoea calida'') is a species of Gram negative bacteria. Cells of this species are coccoid rods and are motile. Background ''Mixta calida'' was originally isolated from powdered infant formula, and in 2010 was placed in the genus '' Pantoea''. In 2018, the species was reclassified into the novel genus, ''Mixta''. The species name is derived from Latin ''calida'' (warm, hot), referring to the species' ability to grow well at 44 °C. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q63410404 Gram-negative bacteria Enterobacterales ...

Erwiniaceae
The ''Erwiniaceae'' are a family Family (from la, familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship). The purpose of the family is to maintain the well-being of its members and of society. Idea ... of Gram-negative bacteria which includes a number of plant pathogens and insect endosymbionts. This family is a member of the order Enterobacterales in the class Gammaproteobacteria of the phylum Pseudomonadota. The type genus of this family is '' Erwinia.'' The name ''Erwiniaceae'' is derived from the Latin term ''Erwinia'', referring the type genus of the family and the suffix "-aceae", an ending used to denote a family. Together, ''Erwiniaceae'' refers to a family whose nomenclatural type is the genus ''Erwinia''. Biochemical characteristics and molecular signatures These bacteria are catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, and do not produce indole or hydrogen disulfide. Most species are po ...

Gram-negative
Gram-negative bacteria are bacteria that do not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining method of bacterial differentiation. They are characterized by their cell envelopes, which are composed of a thin peptidoglycan cell wall sandwiched between an inner cytoplasmic cell membrane and a bacterial outer membrane. Gram-negative bacteria are found in virtually all environments on Earth that support life. The gram-negative bacteria include the model organism ''Escherichia coli'', as well as many pathogenic bacteria, such as '' Pseudomonas aeruginosa'', '' Chlamydia trachomatis'', and '' Yersinia pestis''. They are a significant medical challenge as their outer membrane protects them from many antibiotics (including penicillin), detergents that would normally damage the inner cell membrane, and lysozyme, an antimicrobial enzyme produced by animals that forms part of the innate immune system. Additionally, the outer leaflet of this membrane comprises a complex ...

Bacteria
Bacteria (; singular: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep biosphere of Earth's crust. Bacteria are vital in many stages of the nutrient cycle by recycling nutrients such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nutrient cycle includes the decomposition of dead bodies; bacteria are responsible for the putrefaction stage in this process. In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, extremophile bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds, such as hydrogen sulphide and methane, to energy. Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic re ...

Pantoea
''Pantoea'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria of the family Erwiniaceae The ''Erwiniaceae'' are a family Family (from la, familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship). The purpose of the family is to maintain the well-being ..., recently separated from the genus '' Enterobacter''. This genus includes at least 20 species. ''Pantoea'' bacteria are yellow pigmented, ferment lactose, are motile, and form mucoid colonies. Some species show quorum sensing ability that could drive different gene expression, hence controlling certain physiological activities. Levan produced by ''Pantoea agglomerans'' ZMR7 was reported to decrease the viability of rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) and breast cancer (MDA) cells compared with untreated cancer cells. In addition, it has high antiparasitic activity against the promastigote of ''Leishmania tropica.'' Species *'' Pantoea agglomerans'' is the most common ' ...
