''Methylobacterium'' is a genus of Hyphomicrobiales.Garrity, George M.; Brenner, Don J.; Krieg, Noel R.; Staley, James T. (eds.) (2005). Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, Volume Two: The Proteobacteria, Part C: The Alpha-, Beta-, Delta-, and Epsilonproteobacteria. New York, New York: Springer. . As well as its normal habitats in soil and water, ''Methylobacterium'' has also been identified as a contaminant of DNA extraction kit reagents, which may lead to its erroneous appearance in microbiota or metagenomic datasets. In March 2021, a new species, named ''Methylobacterium ajmalii'', LPSN
Species ''Methylobacterium ajmalii'' Bijlani ''et al''. 2021 associated with three new strains, designated IF7SW-B2^T, IIF1SW-B5, and IIF4SW-B5, were reported to have been discovered, for the first time, on the International Space Station
.

Natural genetic transformation

Transformation (genetics)">Natural genetic transformation in bacteria is a process involving transfer of DNA from one cell to another through the intervening medium, and the integration of the donor sequence into the recipient genome by homologous recombination. ''
