| Research Abstract |
The genome of Methylobacterium sp.22A that promotes the growth of various plants, was sequenced. The draft genome data is comprised of 490 contigs with average contig size 16kbp. The genome size was estimated to be 7.7Mbp, with 6 plasmids. The genes involved in the interaction with plants, i.e. methanol metabolism, nitrogen fixation, and vitamin synthesis were identified. The gene-disruption experiment is now under progress.
