sp. nov., a New Methylotrophic, Estuarine Methanogen Free

Abstract

Abstract

Previously published phylogenetic studies of 16S rRNA showed that methylotrophic, slightly halophilic, methanogenic strain GS-16 (T = type strain) represents a new species of bacterium. We propose the name for this species; strain GS-16 is the type strain.
