<p>Disclosed are a bacterium and a method for promoting the growth of a moss Racomitrium canescens, a tobacco plant, barley and soybean. The bacterium is selected from the methanol-utilizing bacteria deposited under Accession numbers FERM BP-11078, FERM BP-11079, FERM BP-11080 and FERM BP-11071 which belong to the genus Methylobacterium. The method is: a method for promoting the growth of a protonema of a moss Racomitrium canescens, which is characterized by culturing the protonema in the presence of the bacterium; or a method for promoting the growth of a seed plant selected from the group consisting of a plant tobacco, barley and soybean, which is characterized by culturing a seed of the seed plant while contacting the seed with a bacterium deposited under Accession number FERM BP-11078 which is one of the above-mentioned bacteria.</p> |
