An investigation of hyphomicrobia from manganese deposits and various fresh-water habitats revealed an astonishing degree of pleomorphy in the group. A range of variation spanning two described genera (Hyphomicrobium and Pedomicrobium) was induced by varying culture conditions and was further observed in natural environments. It is suggested that Pedomicrobium is an invalid genus.
对来自锰矿床和各种淡水生境的丝状细菌的调查显示,该类群存在惊人程度的多形性。不同的培养条件诱导出了跨越两个已描述属(生丝微菌属和柄微菌属)的一系列变异,并且在自然环境中也进一步观察到了这种变异。有人认为柄微菌属是一个无效属。
