Abstract
Abstract Me.thy.lo.fe'ru.la. N.L. n. methylum the methyl group; N.L. pref. methylo ‐ pertaining to the methyl radical; L. fem. n. ferula a rod; N.L. fem. n. Methyloferula methyl‐using rod. The genus Methyloferula accommodates acidophilic, obligately methanotrophic bacteria that perform the first step of methane oxidation using only a soluble methane monooxygenase, rather than the more common particulate methane monooxygenase. Cells of these methanotrophs are Gram‐negative, aerobic, colorless, nonmotile rods that reproduce by irregular fission and occur singly or are arranged in rosettes. An extensive intracytoplasmic membrane system common to most known methanotrophic bacteria is absent from cells. Intracellular granules of poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate are formed at each cell pole. Colonies are small, unpigmented, circular, and smooth. Growth occurs on methane and methanol; the latter is the preferred growth substrate. Carbon is assimilated via the serine and ribulose‐bisphosphate pathways. These methanotrophs are capable of atmospheric nitrogen fixation under reduced oxygen tension. They are mesophilic and psychrotolerant bacteria, which prefer dilute media of low salt content. The major fatty acid is C 18:1 ω7 c ; the major quinone is Q‐10. DNA G + C content is 59.5 mol% (genome analysis). Known habitats are acidic peatlands and soils. Type species : Methyloferula stellata Vorobev, Baani, Doronina, Brady, Liesack, Dunfield, and Dedysh 2011, 2461 VP .

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
