Methyloferula stellata

Methyloferula sphagni[3] Methyloferula stellata is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Methyloferula which has been isolated from acidic peat soil from Arkhangelsk in Russia.

[1][3][4][5] In contrast to most known Methanotrophs Methyloferula stellata is an aerobic acidophilic methanotroph.

[6] This makes it similar to Methylocella species, however it is unable to grow on multicarbon substrates.

[6] It's genome was sequenced in March and April 2015.
