“…PPFMs are isolated by using leaf impinting method in AMS agar media (Corpe, 1985) from various plants like mustard (Subhaswaraj, Jobina, Parasuraman, & Siddhardha, 2017) neem (Kumar & Lee, 2009), rice (Joel, Latha, Gopal, & Sreedevi, 2023), cotton (Ismail & Mohammed, 2023), capsicum (Santosh, Santosh, & Sreenivasa, 2019), bamboo (Madhaiyan and Poonguzhali, 2014) and also from human nasal cavity and hair scalp (Uy et al, 2013).Various studies have reported that PPFMs colonize plant surfaces in a mucilaginous layer (Rossetto et al, 2011). PPFMs have the ability to form biofilms (Rossetto et al, 2011;Chowdhury, Basak, & Islam, 2023). Methylobacterium strains are capable of producing quorum sensing inducers like N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) (Pomini, Cruz, Gai, Ara ujo, & Marsaioli, 2009).…”

“…It was reported that M. extorquens AM1 contains 70 methylotrophic metabolism-related genes and these genes are located in eight regions of the bacterial chromosome (Chistoserdova, Chen, Lapidus, & Lidstrom, 2003). The first of these loci contains a cluster of 12 known genes: mxaFJGIRSACKLDB (Morris, Kim, Perkins, & Lidstrom, 1995), there is another gene viz., mxaW adjacent to mxaF which undergoes through divergent transcription (Xu, Viebahn, & Hanson, 1993).…”

“…So, for a clearer understanding of the interaction between phylloplane environment and PPFMs more indepth research is necessary. Genomics study of PPFM organisms reveals that almost 70 methylotrophy related genes are available in their genome (Chistoserdova et al, 2003). The actual roles of many of those genes are still unknown.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to provide information about interactions between pink-pigmented facultative methylotroph (PPFM) organisms and plants, their molecular mechanisms of methylotrophic metabolism, application of PPFMs in agriculture, biotechnology and bioremediation and also to explore lacuna in PPFMs research and direction for future research.Design/methodology/approachResearch findings on PPFM organisms as potent plant growth promoting organisms are discussed in the light of reports published by various workers. Unexplored field of PPFM research are detected and their application as a new group of biofertilizer that also help host plants to overcome draught stress in poorly irrigated crop field is suggested.FindingsPPFMs are used as plant growth promoters for improved crop yield, seed germination capacity, resistance against pathogens and tolerance against drought stress. Anti-oxidant and UV resistant properties of PPFM pigments protect the host plants from strong sunshine. PPFMs have excellent draught ameliorating capacity.Originality/valueTo meet the ever increasing world population, more and more barren, less irrigated land has to be utilized for agriculture and horticulture purpose and use of PPFM group of organisms due to their draught ameliorating properties in addition to their plant growth promoting characters will be extremely useful. PPFMs are also promising candidates for the production of various industrially and medicinally important enzymes and other value-added products. Wider application of this ecofriendly group of bacteria will reduce crop production cost thus improving economy of the farmers and will be a greener alternative of hazardous chemical fertilizers and fungicides.Graphicalabstract:
