P. agglomerans P. ananatis P. citrea P. dispersa P. punctata P. stewartii P. terrea P. septica P. tagorei P. vagans Kalamiella Singh et al. 2019 Pantoea is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria of the family Erwiniaceae, recently separated from the genus Enterobacter.

[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] Levan polysaccharide produced by Pantoea agglomerans ZMR7 was reported to decrease the viability of rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) and breast cancer (MDA) cells compared with untreated cancer cells.

[4] The genus contains several more proposed species, such as Pantoea phytobeneficialis[9], which are currently not considered as validly published under the ICNP.
