(Formerly Erwinia cancerogena) DICKEY, ROBERT S. and ZUMOFF, CATHY H.,, 38, 371-374 (1988), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-38-4-371, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= The description for three strains of Erwinia cancerogena was expanded to include 108 phenotypic characters. These strains were compared with seven strains of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and the type strains of Enterobacter (Erwinia) nimipressuralis, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter amnigenus, and Enterobacter intermedium. Our results support the proposal to transfer Erwinia cancerogena to the genus Enterobacter as Enterobacter cancerogenus comb. nov., language=, type=
