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 ...
