The ability of Methylobacterium to fix nitrogen and colonize leaf tissues serves as an important trait for Jatropha.

Strain L2-4 opens a new possibility to improve plant's nitrogen supply from the leaves and may be exploited to significantly improve the productivity and Green Index of Jatropha biofuel.
