Characterization of Methylobacterium strains isolated from the phyllosphere and description of Methylobacterium longum sp. nov [PDF]
Methylobacterium strains are abundantly found in the phyllosphere of plants. Morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomical properties of 12 previously isolated strains were analyzed in order to obtain a more detailed overview of the characteristics ...

Airborne Bacterial Communities: Diversity, Survival Strategies and Functional Roles in the Atmosphere. [PDF]
This mini‐review synthesises evidence on the taxonomic patterns of airborne microorganisms and the selective pressures they face. We highlight key conserved physiological traits, such as DNA repair and desiccation tolerance, which enable stress‐tolerant members to survive and suggest their potential for activity within the atmospheric environment ...

Methylobacterium haplocladii sp. nov. and Methylobacterium brachythecii sp. nov., isolated from bryophytes [PDF]
Pink-pigmented, facultatively methylotrophic bacteria, strains 87eTand 99bT, were isolated from the bryophytesHaplocladium microphyllumandBrachythecium plumosum, respectively. The cells of both strains were Gram-reaction-negative, motile, non-spore-forming rods.

Methylobacterium persicinum sp. nov., Methylobacterium komagatae sp. nov., Methylobacterium brachiatum sp. nov., Methylobacterium tardum sp. nov. and Methylobacterium gregans sp. nov., isolated from freshwater [PDF]
Eight strains, 002-165T, 002-079T, B0021T, Hojyo2, RB603B, RB677T, 002-074T and RB678, isolated from the environment of food-processing factories in Japan, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolates were Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, pink-pigmented, facultatively methylotrophic, non-spore-forming rods.

Genetic Transformation in Methylobacterium organophilum [PDF]
Several mutants have been isolated from the facultative methylotroph, Methylobacterium organophilum, using either N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine or ultraviolet light as mutagens. One of these isolates, a glutamate auxotroph lacking isocitrate dehydrogenase, has been transformed to prototrophy, using wild-type DNA, at a frequency of 0-5 ...

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences was performed on all type strains of the 14 validly described Methylobacterium species to ascertain the genealogic relationships among these species. The results showed that type strains of Methylobacterium were divided into two monophyletic groups whose members were distinct species with sequence ...

Infections Caused by Unusual Methylobacterium Species [PDF]
ABSTRACTWe describe six patients with hospital-acquired bacteremia caused byMethylobacteriumspecies, includingM. radiotolerans(n= 2),M. thiocyanatum(n= 2),M. aminovorans(n= 1), andM. lusitanum(n= 1), which were confirmed to species level by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Among these patients, five had catheter-related bacteremia and all had favorable

Alcohol Dehydrogenase from Methylobacterium organophilum [PDF]
The alcohol dehydrogenase from Methylobacterium organophilum , a facultative methane-oxidizing bacterium, has been purified to homogeneity as indicated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. It has several properties in common with the alcohol dehydrogenases from other methylotrophic bacteria.
