Methylomonad T, which has been believed to be a member of the family Methylomonadaceae, utilized each of formaldehyde, formate, methylamine, and acetate as a sole source of carbon and energy. Ethanol was not utilized by this microorganism. The assimilation of these substrates was inducible, though the growth rate by these compounds was much lower than that by methanol.
