Trinickia caryophylli is a gram-negative, motile, parasitic bacteria. It is a plant pathogen and causes bacterial wilt of carnation in Dianthus species.: 35–37
T. caryophylli possesses the enzyme D-threo-aldolase dehydrogenase which enables it to use L-glucose as a source of energy. This metabolic quality is very rare with Paracoccus laeviglucosivorans being the only other characterized species able to metabolize L-glucose.
