Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
An aerobic methane oxidizing bacterium, designated XLMV4T, was isolated from the oxic surface layer of an oil sands tailings pond in Alberta, Canada. Strain XLMV4T is capable of growth on methane and methanol as energy sources. NH4Cl and sodium nitrate are nitrogen sources. Cells are Gram-negative, beige to yellow-pigmented, motile (via a single polar flagellum), short rods 2.0–3.3 µm in length and 1.0–1.6 µm in width. A thick capsule is produced. Surface glycoprotein orcup shape proteins typical of the genera Methylococcus, Methylothermus and Methylomicrobium were not observed. Major isoprenoid quinones are Q-8 and Q-7 at an approximate molar ratio of 71 : 22. Major polar lipids are phosphoglycerol and ornithine lipids. Major fatty acids are C16 : 1 ω8+C16 : 1 ω7 (34 %), C16 : 1 ω5 (16 %), and C18 : 1 ω7 (11 %). Optimum growth is observed at pH 8.0 and 25 °C. The DNA G+C content based on a draft genome sequence is 46.7 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA genes and a larger set of conserved genes place strain XLMV4Twithin the class Gammaproteobacteria and familyMethylococcaceae , most closely related to members of the genera Methylomicrobium and Methylobacter (95.0–97.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence identity). In silico genomic predictions of DNA–DNA hybridization values of strain XLMV4T to the nearest phylogenetic neighbours were all below 26 %. On the basis of the data presented, strain XLMV4T is considered to represent a new genus and species for which the name Methylicorpusculum oleiharenae is proposed. Strain XLMV4T (=DSMZ DSM 27269=ATCC TSD-186) is the type strain. |
