Identification of MscS as a Key L‐Glutamate Exporter in Bacillus methanolicus [PDF]
Small‐conductance mechanosensitive channels (MscS) are established l‐glutamate exporters in industrially relevant bacteria, yet their role in the methylotrophic bacterium Bacillus methanolicus, a promising platform for sustainable methanol‐based l ...

Development of Bacillus methanolicus methanol dehydrogenase with improved formaldehyde reduction activity [PDF]
Methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), an NAD+-dependent oxidoreductase, reversibly converts formaldehyde to methanol. This activity is a key step for both toxic formaldehyde elimination and methanol production in bacterial methylotrophy.

Interrogating the Role of the Two Distinct Fructose-Bisphosphate Aldolases of Bacillus methanolicus by Site-Directed Mutagenesis of Key Amino Acids and Gene Repression by CRISPR Interference [PDF]
The Gram-positive Bacillus methanolicus shows plasmid-dependent methylotrophy. This facultative ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) cycle methylotroph possesses two fructose bisphosphate aldolases (FBA) with distinct kinetic properties.

Development of a markerless tool for targeted chromosome modification in the thermophilic and methylotrophic bacterium Bacillus methanolicus [PDF]
Background Bacillus methanolicus is a promising candidate to become an industrial workhorse for methanol-based bioproduction due to its methylotrophy. However, genetic toolbox for this biotechnologically relevant thermophilic bacterium is still limited ...

Genome-Based Genetic Tool Development for Bacillus methanolicus: Theta- and Rolling Circle-Replicating Plasmids for Inducible Gene Expression and Application to Methanol-Based Cadaverine Production [PDF]
Bacillus methanolicus is a thermophilic methylotroph able to overproduce amino acids from methanol, a substrate not used for human or animal nutrition. Based on our previous RNA-seq analysis a mannitol inducible promoter and a putative mannitol activator

Methylotrophic Bacillus methanolicus encodes two chromosomal and one plasmid born NAD+ dependent methanol dehydrogenase paralogs with different catalytic and biochemical properties. [PDF]
Bacillus methanolicus can utilize methanol as the sole carbon source for growth and it encodes an NAD(+)-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (Mdh), catalyzing the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. Recently, the genomes of the B.

Bacillus methanolicus sp. nov., a New Species of Thermotolerant, Methanol-Utilizing, Endospore-Forming Bacteria [PDF]
The generic position of 14 strains of gram-positive bacteria able to use methanol as a growth substrate was determined. All are obligately aerobic, thermotolerant organisms that are able to grow at temperatures of 35 to 60°C.
