Three New Methylobacterium Species: M. rhodesianum sp. nov., M. zatmanii sp. nov., and M. fujisawaense sp. nov.

Abstract

Three new Methylobacterium species (M. zatmanii, M. rhodesianum, and M. fujisawaense) are proposed on the basis of deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid homology. Strains are assigned to these and other species of Methylobacterium on the basis of both the homology data and previously published phenotypic data.
