Methylobacter arcticus sp. nov. isolated from a coal mine biofilm in the high Arctic Svalbard An aerobic methanotroph was isolated from a biofilm of coal mine Gruve 7 (Svalbard) and designated strain G7T. Cells of strain G7T were Gram-stain-negative, pink-pigmented and motile rods. Strain G7T ...

A new #methanotroph species has been described: #Methylobacter arcticus sp. nov., isolated from a coal mine biofilm. I'm happy to have contributed to this work!

🚨 Recent analyses out on ecogenomics of #Methylobacter led by Magda from our group! There sure is more to the genus than we tend(ed) to think 🤩

🦠 Among #Methylococcales, the genus #Methylobacter has the most genomes and MAGs deposited in the dbs. We found interesting stuff, e.g., some M. spp. encode all three MMOs: pMMO, pXMO, sMMO! Have a look at our ms: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
