Agrobacterium radiobacter is the type species of the genus Agrobacterium. It was formerly incorrectly synonymized with Agrobacterium tumefaciens.[1] Unlike other members of its genus, it does not harbor a tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid, and is hence not pathogenic to plants. This species is widely found in soil, in plant rhizospheres, and in human clinical specimens.[3]
