A number of pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs) belonging toMethylobacteriumspp. isolated from living plant samples were found to require B vitamins for their growth in minimal medium, and most B vitamin-auxotrophic PPFMs required pantothenate (vitamin B5). Further investigation of pantothenate auxotrophy using the representative strainMethylobacteriumsp. OR01 demonstrated that this strain cannot synthesize β-alanine, one of the precursors of pantothenate. β-alanine and several precursors of pantothenate restored the growth ofMethylobacteriumsp. OR01 in minimal medium. Furthermore, this strain could colonize leaves ofArabidopsis thalianacultivated in medium without pantothenate or its precursors. Pantothenate, β-alanine and several precursors were detected in the suspension ofA. thalianaleaves. These results suggest that pantothenate-auxotrophic PPFMs can symbiotically colonize the surface of plant leaves by acquiring β-alanine and other precursors, in addition to pantothenate. Finally, the fitness advantage of B vitamin auxotrophy of PPFMs in the phyllosphere environment is discussed.
