methylophilaceae การใช้

Methylobacillus flagellatus was first isolated in the early 1980s in sewerage pipes of a metropolitan sanitary sewer . M . flagellatus is most closely related to other members of the family Methylophilaceae . Using small-subunit 16S rRNAs and comparing metabolic / phylogenic similarities and differences < between M . flagellatus and its relatives, scientists have determined that Methylobacillus flagellatus ( betaproteobacteria ) is more closely related to Methylobacterium extorquens ( alphaproteobacteria ) and Methylococcus capsulatus ( gammaproteobacteria ), than to Methylibium petroleiphilum ( betaproteobacteria ).
