It is ubiquitous in methanotrophs, in contrast to other methanotroph-specific genes such as the pmoA and mmoX genes, which are absent in some methanotrophic proteobacterial genera.

Cultures from this spe- cies are most interesting due to their facultatively chemolithoautotrophic lifestyle, which allows them to both consume carbon dioxide and to produce it. This feature makes S. novella an interesting model or- ganism for studying the genomic basis of regulatory networks required for the switch between con- sumption and production of carbon dioxide, a key component of the global carbon cycle.

  • Methylobacterium Frigidaeris Sp. Nov., Isolated from an Air Conditioning System
    TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Lee and Jeon, Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2018;68:299–304 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.002500 Methylobacterium frigidaeris sp. nov., isolated from an air conditioning system Yunho Lee and Che Ok Jeon* Abstract A reddish pink-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and methylotrophic bacterial strain, designated strain IER25-16T, was isolated from a laboratory air conditioning system in the Republic of Korea. Cells were motile rods showing catalase- and oxidase-positive reactions. Strain IER25-16T grew at 10–40 C (optimum, 30 C), at pH 4.0–7.0 (optimum, pH 5.0–7.0) and in the presence of 0–1.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and ubiquinone-9 was also detected as the minor respiratory quinone. Summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1!7c and/or C18 : 1!6c) was detected as the predominant fatty acids. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain IER25-16T was 70.0 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison revealed that strain IER25-16T belonged to the genus Methylobacterium of the class Alphaproteobacteria. Strain IER25-16T was most closely related to Methylobacterium platani PMB02T (97.9 %), Methylobacterium aquaticum GR16T (97.9 %) and Methylobacterium tarhaniae N4211T (97.5 %). The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA– DNA hybridization values between strain IER25-16T and M. platani, M. aquaticum and M. tarhaniae were 88.3, 88.8 and 89.6 % and 36.2, 37.3 and 39.3 %, respectively. The phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features and the phylogenetic inference clearly suggested that strain IER25-16T represents a novel species of the genus Methylobacterium, for which the name Methylobacterium frigidaeris sp.

Therefore, investigating the associations between ARGs and bacterial communities 16 become an important issue for environment protection. Ocean microbiomes are potentially 17 large ARG reservoirs, but the marine ARG distribution and its associations with bacterial 18 communities remain unclear.

  • Isolation and Characterization of Methylotrophic Bacteria from Western Ghats
    International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 2 Issue 7, July - 2013 Isolation And Characterization Of Methylotrophic Bacteria From Western Ghats RahulSriBalaji Gandhiraj Dhamodharan and Adharsh Rajasekar Abstract A Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophic (PPFM) bacterium was isolated from the rhizosphere region of Western Ghats by serial dilution method on Hyphomicrobium medium and Minimal Salts Agar supplemented with 2% methanol. Their distinctive pink pigmentation is due to carotenoids, which render them to be tolerant to extreme light condition and radiation. The isolate was morphologically and biochemically characterized and identified as a member of the genus Methylobacterium. The optimum pH for growth and pigment production was 7.5 at a temperature of 27˚ C with 1% methanol. The PPFM bacterium was mass multiplied at these optimum conditions, samples were extracted, analyzed using UV-visible Spectrophotometer, subjected to FAME analysis by Gas Chromatography. Keywords: PPFM, Hyphomicrobium medium, carotenoids, Methylobacterium, FAME analysis Introduction Soils typically contain 109 to 1010 microorganisms per gram (dry weight), which might represent more than a million bacterial species. In each managed and natural ecosystems, plants will move with a large vary of bacterium, which could pose unhealthful, neutral, or useful effects towards their hosts. It’s been proved that majority of microsymbionts include flora and acknowledged diverseIJERTIJERT group of bacterium colonizing the rhizosphere. A set of the rhizosphere microflora may enter and proliferate at intervals plants as endophytes [2], [4]. However, small fraction of these microbes has been cultivated and characterized which provided only a glimpse of their potential physiological capacity and their influence towards soil ecosystems.

  • A Novel Pink-Pigmented Facultative Methylobacterium Phyllosphaerae
    A novel pink-pigmented facultative Methylobacterium phyllosphaerae sp. nov. from phyllosphere of rice Ki-Yoon Kim , M. Madhaiyan, Woo-Jong Yim, P.S. Chauhan and Tong-Min Sa * Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, Chungbuk, 361-763, Republic of Korea. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A pink-pigmented, aerobic, facultatively methylotrophic bacterial strain, CBMB27 T, isolated from leaf tissues of rice ( Oryza sativa L.), 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 CBMB27 T showed sequence similarities of 98.3, 98.5 and 97.3 %, respectively, to the type strains of these three species. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain CBMB27 T and its closest relatives. The sequence of the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase gene ( acdS ) in strain CBMB27 T differed from those of close relatives. The major fatty acid of the isolate was C 18 : 1 ω7c and the G +C content of the genomic DNA was 66.8 mol%. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, and physiological and biochemical characterization, which enabled the isolate to be differentiated from all recognized species of the genus Methylobacterium , it was concluded that strain CBMB27 T represents a novel species in the genus Methylobacterium for which the name Methylobacterium phyllosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed (type strain CBMB27 T =LMG 24361 T =KACC 11716 T =DSM 19779 T ). Key Words ACC, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate, PPFM, pinkpigmented, facultatively methylotrophic.
