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.
