Methylotenera oryzisoli sp. nov., a lanthanide-dependent methylotrophic bacteria isolated from rice field soil

A new lanthanide (Ln 3+ )-dependent methanol-utilizing bacterial strain, La3113 T , was isolated from rice field soil and its taxonomic position was investigated using polyphasic approaches. The strain was aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, strongly motile, catalase-positive and cytochrome oxidase-positive. It could neither catalyse the hydrolysis of urea nor reduce nitrate to nitrite. Growth was observed within a temperature range of 10–40 °C and a...
