Description and significance
Methylosinus trichosporium is a gram negative, aerobic bacteria. This bacteria is found in the soil or in groundwater as well. Trichosporium is a bacteria that relies on methane as a source of carbon and energy. This bacteria not only helps by consuming and getting rid of methane it also serves another purpose as a cometabolism of polyhydroxybutyrate.
16S Ribosomal RNA Gene Information
Genome Structure (if the genome exists)
he 16S rRNA sequencing of The genome structure methylosinus trichosporium was sequenced, assembled, and annotated by the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institut. 44 contigs and 9 scaffolds was assembled from Roche 454-FLX, 454-std, 454-Titanium PE, and Illumina Solexa reads using Velvet (21). Automatic annotation was done using the Prokaryotic Dynamic Programming Genefinding Algorithm =Ecology and Pathogenesis=
