| methylobacterium platani sp. nov., isolated from a leaf of the tree platanus orientalis. | a novel bacterial strain, designated pmb02(t), was isolated from a leaf of the tree platanus orientalis. colonies grown on tyg agar plates were circular, pink-pigmented and slow-growing, being 0.2-1.5 mm in diameter after 3 days growth. the cells of strain pmb02(t) were gram-negative, aerobic, motile rods that possessed oxidase and catalase activities and grew at 20-30 degrees c, ph 6-8 and in media containing less than 1 % nacl. the major respiratory quinone was identified as q-10. a phylogenet ... | 2007 | 18048737 |
| methylobacterium indicum sp. nov., a facultative methylotrophic bacterium isolated from rice seed. | two pink pigmented, gram-negative, motile, aerobic, rod shaped endophytic bacteria designated as se2.11(t) and se3.6 were isolated in different experiments from surface sterilized rice seeds. both strains grew optimally at 28°c temperature. they were positive for catalase and nitrate reduction. the 16s rrna gene sequence of the strains se2.11(t) and se3.6 displayed between 98.1% and 97.2% similarities with the validly published species of the genus methylobacterium. the major cellular fatty acid ... | 2016 | 26776106 |
| methylobacterium tarhaniae sp. nov., isolated from arid soil. | a reddish-orange-pigmented, gram-stain-negative, aerobic, facultatively methylotrophic strain, n4211(t), isolated from arid soil, collected from abuja, nigeria, was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. phylogenetic analysis, based on 16s rrna gene sequences, showed that strain n4211(t) belonged to the genus methylobacterium. strain n4211(t) was most closely related to methylobacterium aquaticum gr16(t) (98.56 %), methylobacterium platani pmb02(t) (97.95 %) and methylobacterium variabile gr3( ... | 2013 | 23315404 |
