Paraburkholderia fungorum is a Gram-negative species of bacteria.[2] P. fungorum can be isolated from the environment and from humans, plants, and animals. It has been commonly used as a beneficial microorganism in agriculture as an agent for biocontrol and bioremediation.[3] Some strains can use uranium for their growth and convert U(VI) to U(IV).[4]

P. fungorum isolated from the tissue of an infected Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica) was found to have a genomic size of approximately 7.7 Mbps with an N50 of 69,666 bps. It also shared some common virulence genes with the known pathogenic species of Burkholderia.[3]
