Article Synopsis
  • A novel methanotrophic strain named 9N was discovered in freshwater lake sludge, characterized as aerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile, and capable of utilizing methane or methanol for growth under specific temperature and pH conditions.
  • Genetic analysis placed strain 9N closely with the genus Methylocystis, with significant genomic data revealing its potential for detoxifying harmful substances and promoting plant growth.
  • The strain has been proposed as a new species, Methylocystis borbori sp. nov., with its type strain cataloged as 9N (= VKM B-3616 = KCTC 92566).

It has been previously shown that a number of plant associated methylotrophic bacteria contain an enzyme aminocyclopropane carboxylate (ACC) deaminase (AcdS) hydrolyzing ACC, the immediate precursor of ethylene in plants. The genome of the epiphytic methylotroph Methylobacterium radiotolerans JCM2831 contains an open reading frame encoding a protein homologous to transcriptional regulatory protein AcdR of the Lrp (leucine-responsive regulatory protein) family. The acdR gene of M.

The presence of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase determines the ability of bacteria to increase the resistance of plants to various types of stress. The genes of ACC deaminase (acdS) and the closely related enzyme D-cysteine desulfhydrase (dcyD) were searched in type strains of various representatives of the genus Methylobacterium. Using PCR screening and in silico searching in the available complete genome sequences of type strains, the genes were found in 28 of 48 species of the genus.

Three strains of obligately methylotrophic Betaproteobacteria (ZT, SP and M3) with the ribulose monophosphate pathway of C1 assimilation are described. The isolates were strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, asporogenous, motile (strains ZT and M3) or non-motile (strain SP) rods that multiplied by binary fisson, and were mesophilic and neutrophilic. All three strains utilized methanol but only strains SP and M3 utilized methylamine as carbon and energy sources.

The draft genome sequence of Methylophaga muralis strain Bur 1 (VKM B-3046T), a non-methane-utilizing methylotroph isolated from a soda lake, is reported here. Strain Bur 1 possesses genes for methanol and methylamine (methylamine dehydrogenase and N-methylglutamate pathway) oxidation. Genes for the biosynthesis of ectoine were also found.

Three strains of methylotrophic Rhodocyclaceae (FAM1(T), RZ18-153 and RZ94) isolated from Lake Washington sediment samples were characterized. Based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences the strains should be assigned to the genus Methyloversatilis. Similarly to other members of the family, the strains show broad metabolic capabilities and are able to utilize a number of organic acids, alcohols and aromatic compounds in addition to methanol and methylamine.

A newly isolated, facultatively methylotrophic bacterium (strain MUSA(T)) was investigated. The isolate was strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, asporogenous, motile, rod-shaped and multiplied by binary fission. The strain utilized methanol, methylamine and an apparently narrow range of multi-carbon compounds, but not methane, dichloromethane or CO2/H2, as the carbon and energy sources.

A moderately haloalkaliphilic methylotrophic bacterium possessing the ribulose monophosphate pathway for carbon assimilation, designated MPL(T), was isolated from Lonar Lake sediment microcosms that were oxidizing methane for two weeks. The isolate utilized methanol and was an aerobic, Gram-negative, asporogenous, motile, short rod that multiplied by binary fission. The isolate required NaHCO(3) or NaCl for growth and, although not auxotrophic for vitamin B(12), had enhanced growth with vitamin B(12).

Aerobic methylotrophic bacteria able to grow with dichloromethane (DCM) as the sole carbon and energy source possess a specific glutathione S-transferase, DCM dehalogenase, which transforms DCM to formaldehyde, used for biomass and energy production, and hydrochloric acid, which is excreted. Evidence is presented for chloride-specific responses for three DCM-degrading bacteria, Methylobacterium extorquens DM4, Methylopila helvetica DM6 and Albibacter methylovorans DM10. Chloride release into the medium was inhibited by sodium azide and m -chlorophenylhydrazone, suggesting an energy-dependent process.
