Abstract Methylobacterium rhodesianum was cultivated using an extended fed-batch regime. After treatments with N-nitroso-methyl-urea or X-rays, colonies showing an irregular morphology or increased heavy-metal sensitivity were selected. Electron micrographs of cells of isolated strains demonstrated the loss of the glycocalyx. Selectants and the parental strain yielded identical PHB amounts.
