Species code:	METFK
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Methylophilales; Methylophilaceae; Methylobacillus (TaxID: 265072) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Methylobacillus flagellatus (strain KT / ATCC 51484 / DSM 6875) is a rod-shaped, motile, aerobe beta-proteobacterium. It is an obligate methylotrophe. Methylobacillus flagellatus grows very well with methanol or methylamine as the sole source of carbon and energy. It can be used in biotechnology for efficient conversion of methanol into biomass, as well as for production of various bioorganic compounds. It is a representative of the third major group of methylotrophs, the ribulose monophosphate pathway methanol-utilizers found in the beta-proteobacteria.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of METFK entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2609 (351 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 2258 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number CP000284 (circular; 2,971,517 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
