Methyloferula stellata is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Methyloferula which has been isolated from acidic peat soil from Arkhangelsk in Russia. [1] [3] [4] [5] In contrast to most known Methanotrophs Methyloferula stellata is an aerobic acidophilic methanotroph. [6] This makes it similar to Methylocella species, however it is unable to grow on multicarbon substrates. [6] It's genome was sequenced in March and April 2015. [6]
