title: Isolation and growth rates of methanol utilizing Rhodospirillaceae.
abstract: 38 pure culture strains belonging to seven species of the Rhodospirillaceae were isolated from 39 methanol enrichment cultures inoculated with water and mud samples of different habitats. None of the strains exhibited doubling times shorter than 10 h in methanol-bicarbonate media.
