A site at the Agricultural Experimental Station (Ithaca, NY) was treated in microcosms with C-labeled glucose, phenol, caffeine, and naphthalene. Levels of C02 were measured to assess utilization of the substrates, and the populations analyzed by separating the C-labeled DNA by density centrifugation, followed by PCR amplification and sequencing of 16S rRNA (Padmanabhan et al. 2003). Populations contained relatives to a range of bacteria that varied with the substrate. Only relatives of Acinetobacter were found in all samples, and for caffeine only Pantoea.

In another phase I trial, i.d. injections of LPS from Pantoea agglomerans were given to patients who suffered from disseminated cancer and received cyclophosphamide, and ibuprofen, to attenuate fever. Increases in the serum concentrations of TNF-a, IL-6 and G-CSF were observed, without tolerance [188],...

A/ -alanyl, O-acyl and O-methylzeatin were discovered in Lupinus species [16-18], Fig. (1). Double glycosylated derivatives of cytokinins sucb as zeatin-9-(glucop3nianosyl riboside) were found to be most abundant components of cytokinin pool in mature pine buds [19]. Recently, a barley pathogen Pantoea agglomerans was found to excrete 2-methylthio-A/ -isopentenyladenine and its deoxyriboside, both having cytokinin activity, to the culture medium [20]. 

Spiroacetal-fused 26-membered ring maerolides, oligomycins, are generally produeed by actinomycetes (see Seetion II.F), but oligomycins SC-1 and 2 (81) are produced by a bacterium Pantoea agglomerans [102]. BE-56384, isolated from Streptomyces sp., has a strueture identical to that of 81 [103].
