We examined the relationships between these two isolates and three other Methanothrix strains (strains OpfikonT [T = type strain], GP6T, and FE) by using an immunological method, by performing DNA homology experiments, and by analyzing polar lipids. Our results indicate that all five strains belong to the same species., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-41-3-358
