Methylomonassediminis sp. nov., Methylomonas paludicola sp. nov., and Methylomonas roseola sp. nov.: genomic insights into the evolution of methane oxidation and carotenoid biosynthesis
Three reddish-pink, gram-stain-negative, motile, flagellated, short rod-shaped methanotrophs, designated BW4-1 T , SPW-1 T , and PHL2-19 T , were isolated from wetland sediments in South Korea. All three strains possessed intracytoplasmic membranes characteristic of type I methanotrophs and grew with methane or...
