Talk:Agrobacterium tumefaciens

An article that mention this pages content

Merger Proposal
Don't think the Ti plasmid deserves it's own article in it's current state, and since the Ti Plasmid is a natural part of this bacteria the content would be better off here. Million_Moments (talk) 20:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * A. tumefaciens is a distinct species of organism and needs its own page. Ti plasmids are present in other organisms than A. tumefaciens such as Agrobacterium rhizogenes (and perhaps others), so it totally does not make any sense to merge the two articles.

 * I propose a redirect from Rhizobium radiobacter to Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the UniProt Database says it's the same organism and the Radiobater article is pretty much devoid of useful or clear information. I will make this change (WP:BB) but if consensus objects please discuss it here [[User:Jebus989|

Any plasmid is a separate entity which may be a parasite or a commensal of any organism. while some plasmids have a narrow host range like the Ti plasmid, many plasmids have a wide host range. In many people's opinion, a plasmid falls into some sort of a "sub-living entity" category. I therefore do not think the two articles should be merged but since the relationship between the two is very strong, a link to the other is deserved on each page.

The CDC has launched an investigation of cross-species (plant-human) replication of viral dna that causes skin eruptions in people. Anyone with current information regarding this bio/mechanical viral dna expression in humans should both post to wiki and if it appears you have evidence of infestation or transmission vectors, contact the United States Center for Disease Control. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.197.163 (talk) 19:15, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

picture style code broken
needs style tags or something, I can't be bothered to figure out proper tags, just wanted to bump with an edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.67.4.241 (talk) 05:12, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Scientific Name
The scientific name is today (~2016) a different one, as the article states. Nonetheless, people I know, but also in the literature, the name Agrobacterium tumefaciens is commonly used. It would be nice if a small paragraph could be added that briefly mentions this, e. g. at which point the bacterium was renamed and also why. 2A02:8388:1601:800:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk) 15:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
