Methylocystis parvus OBBP is an obligate methylotroph considered the type species of the genus Methylocystis. Two pmoCAB particulate methane monooxygenase operons and one additional singleton pmoC paralog were identified in the sequence. No evidence of genes encoding soluble methane monooxygenase was found. Comparison of M. parvus OBBP and Methylocystis sp. strain Rockwell (ATCC 49242) suggests that both species should be taxonomically classified in different genera.
小甲基孢囊菌 OBBP 是一种严格的甲基营养菌,被认为是甲基孢囊菌属的模式种。在该序列中鉴定出了两个 pmoCAB 颗粒状甲烷单加氧酶操纵子和一个额外的单个 pmoC 旁系同源物。没有发现编码可溶性甲烷单加氧酶的基因的证据。小甲基孢囊菌 OBBP 和甲基孢囊菌 sp. 菌株罗克韦尔(ATCC 49242)的比较表明,这两个物种应在分类学上归入不同的属。
