METHYLOMONAS KOYAMA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Methylomonas |
| Species: | Methylomonas koyama |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative, motile rods with a single polar flagellum and type I intracytoplasmic membrane arrange- ment. Grows only on methane or methanol as the sole carbon and energy source. Cells do not form chains or a surface pellicle. Grows optimally at 30°C, at pH 6.5 and with 0–0.1 % (w/w) NaCl; cells are sensitive to NaCl above 0.5 %. |
