Methylobacterium fujisawaense is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria. It is catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. It produces pink-pigment on microbiological agar media (TSA and R2A, etc.). This bacteria is facultatively methylotrophic and is widely distributed in nature. They can be isolated from soil and on occasion freshwater environments, including drinking water.[1]
