Query: NC_013720:3925756 Pirellula staleyi DSM 6068, complete genome Lineage: Pirellula staleyi; Pirellula; Planctomycetaceae; Planctomycetales; Planctomycetes; Bacteria General Information: Isolation: Freshwater Lake Lansing, Michigan, USA; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 20 - 25C; Habitat: Fresh water. Pirellula staleyi DSM 6068 is commonly isolated from freshwater environments. Pirellula staleyi is a pear-shaped bacterium having a life cycle consisting of an aggregate-forming sessile (non-motile) form and a motile swarmer cell. They have a pirellulosome, a large nucleoid-containing cellular compartment, which is surrounded by a single membrane.

General Information: This species was isolated from tissue cultures of Populus, the Poplar tree. Colonies are pink to red, and the red pigment is water insoluble. Species of the genus Methylobacterium are strictly aerobic, facultatively methylotrophic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that are able to grow on one-carbon compounds (e.g. methanol or methylamine), as well as on a variety of C2, C3 and C4 substrates. Only the type species, Methylobacterium organophilum, has been shown to use methane as the sole source of carbon and energy. Members of the genus are distributed in a wide variety of natural and man-made environments, including soil, air, dust, fresh- and marine water and sediments, water supplies, bathrooms, air-conditioning systems and masonry, and some are opportunistic human pathogens.
