Methylotrophic Bacillus methanolicus encodes two chromosomal and one plasmid born NAD+ dependent methanol dehydrogenase paralogs with different catalytic and biochemical properties. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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.

Lanthanide-Dependent Regulation of Methylotrophy in
mSphere, 2018 Methylobacterium species are representative of methylotrophic bacteria. Their genomes usually encode two types of methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs): MxaF and XoxF.

The expanded diversity of methylophilaceae from Lake Washington through cultivation and genomic sequencing of novel ecotypes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We describe five novel Methylophilaceae ecotypes from a single ecological niche in Lake Washington, USA, and compare them to three previously described ecotypes, in terms of their phenotype and genome sequence divergence.

Rare Earth Elements Alter Redox Balance in Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20ZR
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Background: Rare Earth Elements (REEs) control methanol utilization in both methane- and methanol-utilizing microbes. It has been established that the addition of REEs leads to the transcriptional repression of MxaFI-MeDH [a two-subunit methanol ...

Physiological Effect of XoxG(4) on Lanthanide-Dependent Methanotrophy
mBio, 2018 A recent surprising discovery of the activity of rare earth metals (lanthanides) as enzyme cofactors as well as transcriptional regulators has overturned the traditional assumption of biological inertia of these metals.

Isolation of Facultative Methanol-utilizing Bacteria Which Produce Electrophoretically Different Methanol Dehydrogenase [PDF]
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1979 Bacterial strains capable of assimilating methanol as the sole source of carbon and energy have been isolated. These bacteria produced phenazine methosulfate-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (primary alcohol dehydrogenase, EC 1.1.99.8). The eilzyme activity was detected in electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels by activity staining technique.
