N2 - A pink-pigmented, facultatively methylotrophic bacterium, strain 35aT, was isolated from the leaves of Oxalis corniculata. Cells of strain 35aT were Gram-reaction-negative, motile, non-sporeforming rods. The highest 16S rRNA gene pairwise sequence similarities for strain 35aT were found with the strains of Methylobacterium iners 5317S-33T (96.7 %), 'Methylobacterium soli' YIM 48816 (96.6 %) and Methylobacterium jeotgali S2R03-9T (96.3 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with the type strains of all other recognized species of the genus Methylobacterium were below 96 %. Major cellular fatty acids were C18: 1ω7c, C18: 0 and C16: 0. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization experiments, analysis of cpn60 gene sequences, fatty acid profiles, whole-cell MALDI-TOF/MS spectral pattern analysis, and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain 35aT from its nearest phylogenetic neighbours. Strain 35aT is therefore considered to represent a novel species within the genus Methylobacterium, for which the name Methylobacterium oxalidis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 35aT (=DSM 24028T=NBRC 107715T).
