ABSTRACT
Diversity of Pink-Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs (PPFMs) in phyllosphere of cotton, maize and sunflower was determined based on differential carbon-substrate utilization profile and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA data. Results indicate that six diversified groups of PPFMs are found in these crops. Sunflower and maize phyllosphere harbor four different groups of methylobacteria while cotton has only two groups.
RESUMO
A diversidade de microrganismos metilotróficos facultativos pigmentados (PPFMs) na filosfera de algodão, milho e girassol foi determinada baseada no perfil diferencial de utilização de substratos de carbono e em dados de RAPD. Os resultados indicaram a existência de seis grupos diferentes de PPFMs nessas plantas. As filosferas de girassol e milho apresentaram quatro grupos diferentes de metilobactérias enquanto a de algodão apresentou apenas dois grupos.
