| methylobacterium trifolii sp. nov. and methylobacterium thuringiense sp. nov., methanol-utilizing, pink-pigmented bacteria isolated from leaf surfaces. | three pink-pigmented, aerobic, gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and facultatively methylotrophic strains were isolated from the phyllosphere of trifolium repens and cerastium holosteoides. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis support the affiliation of all strains to the genus methylobacterium. the closest relatives of strains c34(t) and t5 were methylobacterium gnaphalii 23e(t) (98.0 and 98.5 % sequence similarity, respectively) and methylobacterium organophilum jcm 2833(t) (97.0 and 97.2 %, respecti ... | 2013 | 23291886 |
| methylobacterium dankookense sp. nov., isolated from drinking water. | a pink-pigmented bacterium, designated sw08-7(t) was isolated from the drinking water of a water purifier. cells were gram-negative, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic, and non-spore-forming. it grew optimally at 25 degrees c, ph 6 approximately 7. phylogenese analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequence showed that strain sw08-7(t) belongs to the genus methylobacterium. the highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarities were found to methylobacterium mesophilicum jcm 2829(t) (96.9%), methylobacterium brachi ... | 2010 | 20127465 |
| methylobacterium phyllosphaerae sp. nov., a pink-pigmented, facultative methylotroph from the phyllosphere of rice. | a pink-pigmented, aerobic, facultatively methylotrophic bacterial strain, cbmb27t, isolated from leaf tissues of rice (oryza sativa l. 'dong-jin'), was analysed using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis placed the strain in a clade with the species methylobacterium oryzae, methylobacterium fujisawaense and methylobacterium mesophilicum; strain cbmb27t showed sequence similarities of 98.3, 98.5 and 97.3 %, respectively, to the type strai ... | 2009 | 19126717 |
