Strain F31T was isolated from meadow grass (Poa trivialis L.) sampled from the city park in Helsinki. Analysis of phenotypic and genotypic properties showed the strain to be related to the group of obligately methylotrophic non-methane utilizing bacteria (methylobacteria) with the ribulose monophosphate pathway of formaldehyde assimilation. Phylogenetic analysis showed the strain to be closely related to the genus Methylobacillus, and analysis of fatty acid composition confirmed this association. Thus, on the basis of its genotypic and phenotypic properties, the isolate is proposed as a novel species of the genus Methylobacillus, Methylobacillus pratensis sp. nov., with F31T as the type strain (=VKM B-2247T=NCIMB 13994T).

Abbreviations: RuMP, ribulose monophosphate

Published online ahead of print on 27 February 2004 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.02956-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain F31T is AY298905.
