Abstract
Two chloromethane-utilizing facultatively methylotrophic bacteria, strains CM2(T) and CM4(T), were isolated from soil at a petrochemical factory. On t he basis of their morphological, physiological and genotypical properties, strain CM2(T) (= VKM B-2176(T) = NCIMB 13687(T)) is proposed as a new speci es of the genus Hyphomicrobium, Hyphomicrobium chloromethanicum, and strain CM4(T) (= VKM B-2223(T) = NCIMB 13688(T)) as a new species of the genus Me thylobacterium, Methylobacterium chloromethanicum.
