title: [Isolation and properties of new strains of obligate methanotrophs].
abstract: New strains of obligate methanotrophic bacteria which assimilate only methane or methanol as the source of carbon and energy have been isolated. According to their morphology, ultrastructure, cultural and physiologo-biochemical characteristics, the bacteria were classed as Methylobacter vinelandii, Methylobacter bovis, Methylobacter chroococcum and Mehylosinus sporium. A new species Methylocystis echinoides sp. nov. is described; it differs from other methanotrophs in certain morphological and physiological properties. The subspecies Methylosinus trichosporium var. methanolicum is recommended to be termed as Methylocytis methanolicus sp. nov.
