Paraburkholderia sprentiae is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Paraburkholderia and the family Burkholderiaceae which was isolated from root nodules from the plant Lebeckia ambigua in South Africa.[4][5]
The species was named in honor of Professor Janet Sprent of Dundee University, in recognition of her work on nitrogen fixation.[4]
