Key facts from the lanthanide methylotrophy atlas
Methylobacterium extorquens was the dominant carrier of lanmodulin among the organisms identified with Bakta-validated Lanmodulin products. 1
The atlas identified 22 Methylobacterium extorquens genomes carrying lanmodulin, with 1 lanmodulin copy in each genome. 1
The association between Methylobacterium extorquens, lanmodulin, and xoxf contributes to the source report’s analysis of clade-restricted lanthanide-dependent methanol oxidation. 1
The plant microbiome analysis lists Methylobacterium extorquens among 47 of 65 plant-associated species with at least 20 genomes that lacked phylogenetic-tree coverage; this refines the atlas’s genome-marker interpretation by identifying a current limitation on testing within-species plant-association subclades, not a contradiction of its lanmodulin association. 2
These observations are based on genome-marker annotations and do not establish enzyme activity or methylotrophic physiology in every Methylobacterium extorquens genome. 1
