Pseudomonadota
Class:
Alphaproteobacteria
Order:
Hyphomicrobiales
Family:
Methylobacteriaceae
Genus:
Methylorubrum
Binomial name
Methylorubrum rhodesianum
(Green et al. 1988) Green and Ardley 2018[1]
Synonyms
  • Methylobacterium lusitanum Doronina et al. 2002[2]
  • Methylobacterium rhodesianum Green et al. 1988

Methylorubrum rhodesianum has the potential to be a biofertilizer due to its ability to fix nitrogen. By associating with plants, it can enhance nutrients and support plant growth, helping improve agricultural practices in a sustainable way.
