organism: Methylorubrum populi
description: Draft genome sequences of four Methylobacterium isolates were obtained. These strains were isolated by undergraduates in MIC105L, a Microbial Diversity laboratory course at the University of California, Davis in 2014. Three of the strains (Methylobacterium extorquens strains EC, ME1, and ME2) were directly isolated from leaves on minimal medium containing methanol as the sole carbon source. Methylobacterium populi strain PINKEL was isolated from compost by selective enrichment on caffeine as the sole carbon source. The genome sequences continue to be mined each year by subsequent MIC105L classes.
