Among the new records is one new species, Dicheirinia panamensis on Cojoba rufescens (Fabaceae). It differs from known species in the genus Dicheirinia by the presence of uredinia and telia without paraphyses, irregularly tuberculate urediniospores with two germ pores on the flattened sides, and tuberculate teliospores formed by three probasidial cells, subtended by a pedicel with three hyaline, apical cells.

The cells were irregular cocci, non-motile, 1·5–2·0 µm in diameter and Gram-negative. Cells of strain ML15T lysed easily in the presence of SDS (0·1 g l–1) and the S-layer protein had an Mr of 138 800. The catabolic substrates utilized by this strain included formate and H2/CO2, but not acetate, methanol, trimethylamine or secondary alcohols. Growth did not occur in minimal medium, but was observed when yeast extract and tryptone were added. Strain ML15T grew fastest at 37 °C, pH 6·6–7·0 and with 3 % NaCl. Acetate was not required for cell growth. Trace amounts of tungstate promoted cell growth. The G+C contents of DNA of Methanofollis aquaemaris N2F9704T and strain ML15T were 59·1 and 58·4 mol%, respectively. Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA genes of strain ML15T and selected Methanofollis species revealed similarities of 95–97 %. Based on the data presented here, it is proposed that strain ML15T (=OCM 789T=DSM 15483T) represents a novel species, Methanofollis formosanus sp. nov. Fri, 29 Oct 2004 22:58:59 GMT
