ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF SOME PPFMs BACTERIAL ISOLATES AND THEIR POTENTIALITY AS BIOFERTILIZERS AND BIOCONTROL AGENTS TO Rhizoctonia solani [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2013 A total of 12 isolates of pink-pigmented, facultative methylotrophic bacteria (PPFMs) were isolated on selective AMS medium from clay soil. Samples were collected from two locations (Sidi Salem and Agricultural Farm, Sakha Agri. Res. Station).

Specific plant induced biofilm formation in Methylobacterium species [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2011 Two endophytic strains of Methylobacterium spp. were used to evaluate biofilm formation on sugarcane roots and on inert wooden sticks. Results show that biofilm formation is variable and that plant surface and possibly root exudates have a role in Methylobacterium spp. host recognition, biofilm formation and successful colonization as endophytes.

Multiple σEcfG and NepR Proteins Are Involved in the General Stress Response in Methylobacterium extorquens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In Alphaproteobacteria, the general stress response (GSR) is controlled by a conserved partner switch composed of the sigma factor σ(EcfG), its anti-sigma factor NepR and the anti-sigma factor antagonist PhyR.

Effect of azoxystrobin on tobacco leaf microbial composition and diversity
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Azoxystrobin, a quinone outside inhibitor fungicide, reduced tobacco target spot caused by Rhizoctonia solani by 62%, but also affected the composition and diversity of other microbes on the surface and interior of treated tobacco leaves. High-throughput

MethylobacteriumSpecies: An Increasingly Important Opportunistic Pathogen [PDF]
Laboratory Medicine, 1998 Methylobacterium species rarely cause human disease. Those isolated from humans are usually found as opportunistic pathogens in patients weakened by an underlying disease process. This report describes a case of Methylobacterium bacteremia in a 35-year-old woman with AIDS, compares the clinical presentation of this case with that of other previously ...

Evaluation of intraspecies interactions in biofilm formation by Methylobacterium species isolated from pink-pigmented household biofilms. [PDF]
Microbes Environ, 2014 Concern regarding household biofilms has grown due to their widespread existence and potential to threaten human health by serving as pathogen reservoirs. Previous studies identified Methylobacterium as one of the dominant genera found in household biofilms.

Site and plant species are important determinants of the Methylobacterium community composition in the plant phyllosphere [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2010 Abstract The plant phyllosphere constitutes a habitat for numerous microorganisms; among them are members of the genus Methylobacterium. Owing to the ubiquitous occurrence of methylobacteria on plant leaves, they represent a suitable target for studying plant colonization patterns.
