Phylogenetic position and emended description of the genus Methylovorus

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2005 Mar;55(Pt 2):903-906. doi: 10.1099/ijs.0.63111-0.

Abstract

The genus Methylovorus, currently represented by the restricted facultative methylotroph Methylovorus glucosotrophus Govorukhina and Trotsenko 1991 and the obligate methylotroph Methylovorus mays Doronina et al. 2001, is here established by direct sequencing of amplified 16S rRNA genes and DNA-DNA hybridization to be clearly separated from the extant ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway methylobacteria and to form a distinct branch within the beta-Proteobacteria.
