Bacillus methanolicus

Bacillus methanolicus (B. methanolicus) is a gram positive, thermophilic, methylotrophic member of the Bacillus genus. The most well characterized strain of the species, Bacillus methanolicus MGA3, was isolated from freshwater marsh soils, and grows rapidly in cultures heated to up to 60 °C using only methanol as a carbon source.[1] The genome of B. methanolicus MGA3 was fully sequenced in 2014, revealing a 3,337,035 bp linear chromosome and two natural plasmids, pBM19 and pBM69[2] .
