Growth Parameters Methylophaga
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism  
Oxygen strict aerobe
pH  
Temperature  
Requirements moderate halophile auxotrophic for vitamin B12. Strains do not grow on peptone yeast extract with or without NaCl.
Products With the exception of fructose, the only growth substrates that are used are C1 compounds such as methanol and methylamine, which are dissimilated by the RuMP pathway. Do not grow on methane.
Enzymes  
Unique features cells can be broken by osmotic shock after wshing with 0.5 M NaCl
ENVIRONMENTAL  
Habitat isolated from marine environments
