“…The family contains the genera Albibacter, Hansschlegelia, Methylocystis, Methylopila, Methylosinus, Pleomorphomonas and Terasakiella [2]. In addition to these seven genera, Chenggangzhangella was reported as a novel genus of the family Methylocystaceae at the time of writing this manuscript [3].…”

“…In addition to these seven genera, Chenggangzhangella was reported as a novel genus of the family Methylocystaceae at the time of writing this manuscript [3]. Some of the genera such as Pleomorphomonas and Terasakiella are distantly related to the other members of the family Methylocystaceae according to the 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic trees [2]. Cells of the strains belonging to the family Methylocystaceae are Gram-stainnegative and aerobic bacteria, and are able to utilize methane and its derivatives as carbon sources.…”

A novel aerobic, Gram-stain-negative and non-motile bacterial strain, designated ED7 T , was isolated from grass-field soil in Cheonan, Korea. Strain ED7 T utilized methanol and methylamine, but not formate, as carbon and energy sources. The strain was able to grow at 20-42 C (optimum 30-35 C), at pH 7.0-8.5 (optimum pH 7.5-8.0), and in the absence of NaCl. According to the similarities of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain ED7 T was most closely related to the genera Labrenzia ( 93.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Pleomorphomonas ( 93.1 %) and Prosthecomicrobium ( 93.1 %). A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain ED7 T revealed that it was affiliated with the family Methylocystaceae, being most closely related to the genus Pleomorphomonas. In contrast to Pleomorphomonas koreensis and Pleomorphomonas oryzae, strain ED7 T did not contain the nifH gene. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain ED7 T was 71.8 mol%.The predominant fatty acids of strain ED7 T were summed feature 8 (C 18 : 1 !7c and/or C 18 : 1 !6c), summed feature 2 (C 14 : 0 3-OH, and/or C 16 : 1 iso I), 11-methyl C 18 : 1 !7c and C 16 : 0 3-OH. The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unknown aminophospholipid. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic characteristic data, strain ED7 T could be differentiated from other genera, suggesting that strain ED7 T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Methylocystaceae, for which the name Chthonobacter albigriseus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is ED7 T (=JCM 30603 T =KCTC 42450 T ).

“…Isolation of strains belonging to the family Methylocystaceae was reported from various ecosystems including soil, water, and phyllosphere and rhizosphere of plants (Bowman et al, 1993;Doronina et al, 1998Doronina et al, , 2000Doronina et al, , 2001Ivanova et al, 2007;Zou et al, 2013). Members of this family are known to assimilate C 1 carbon compounds and are characterized as Gram-staining-negative with the G+C content ranging from 50.7-70.4 mol% (Webb et al, 2014). This paper describes another novel taxon of the family Methylocystaceae isolated from a sludge sample.…”

“…The family Methylocystaceae belongs to the order Rhizobiales, within the class Alphaproteobacteria, and at the time of writing comprises seven genera: Albibacter, Hansschlegelia, Methylocystis, Methylopila, Methylosinus, Pleomorphomonas and Terasakiella (Webb et al, 2014;Parte, 2015). Isolation of strains belonging to the family Methylocystaceae was reported from various ecosystems including soil, water, and phyllosphere and rhizosphere of plants (Bowman et al, 1993;Doronina et al, 1998Doronina et al, , 2000Doronina et al, , 2001Ivanova et al, 2007;Zou et al, 2013).…”

Me.thy.lo.pi'la. N.L. neut. n. methyl , the methyl group; L. fem. n. pila , ball or sphere; N.L. Methylopila , methyl‐using sphere. Pseudomonadota / Alphaproteobacteria / Rhizobiales / Methylopilaceae / Methylopila The genus Methylopila accommodates strictly aerobic facultatively methylotrophic bacteria. Cells are Gram‐stain‐negative, rod shaped, asporogenous, and motile or nonmotile; occur singly or in pairs; multiply by binary fission; and contain poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate granules. Utilize methanol and methylamine as well as a variety of multicarbon compounds as carbon and energy sources. Assimilate C 1 compounds by isocitrate lyase‐negative variant of the serine pathway. Growth factors are not required. Ammonium salts, nitrate, urea, peptone, some amino acids, and methylated amines are utilized as nitrogen sources. Do not grow on CH 4 or H 2 /CO 2 /O 2 . Oxidase‐, catalase‐, and urease‐positive. Indole is formed from l ‐tryptophan on mineral medium with methanol as the sole carbon and energy source and KNO 3 as the sole nitrogen source. Acids are produced from sugars oxidatively. Growth occurs at 10–37°C (but not at 42°C), pH 5.0–10.0. The major fatty acid is C 18:1 ω7 c . The major quinone is Q‐10. The genome sizes are 3.72–4.14 Mb. According to Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB), the genus belongs to the phylum Pseudomonadota , class Alphaproteobacteria , order Rhizobiales , and family Methylopilaceae . Representatives of this genus inhabit phyllosphere and rhizosphere of various plants, fruits, and activated sludge, polluted and natural soils. DNA G + C content (mol%) : 64.5–70.4 ( T m and genome analyses). Type species : Methylopila capsulata Doronina et al. 1998 VP .
