Bioelectrochemical conversion of CO2 to value added product formate using engineered Methylobacterium extorquens [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 The conversion of carbon dioxide to formate is a fundamental step for building C1 chemical platforms. Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 was reported to show remarkable activity converting carbon dioxide into formate.

Genetic and phenotypic comparison of facultative methylotrophy between Methylobacterium extorquens strains PA1 and AM1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, a strain serendipitously isolated half a century ago, has become the best-characterized model system for the study of aerobic methylotrophy (the ability to grow on reduced single-carbon compounds).

Development of an optimized medium, strain and high-throughput culturing methods for Methylobacterium extorquens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Methylobacterium extorquens strains are the best-studied methylotrophic model system, and their metabolism of single carbon compounds has been studied for over 50 years. Here we develop a new system for high-throughput batch culture of M.

Aromatic acid metabolism in Methylobacterium extorquens reveals interplay between methylotrophic and heterotrophic pathways [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyEfforts toward microbial conversion of lignin to value-added products face many challenges because lignin’s methoxylated aromatic monomers release toxic C1 byproducts such as formaldehyde.

Engineered Methylobacterium extorquens grows well on methoxylated aromatics due to its formaldehyde metabolism and stress response [PDF]
mSphereLignin is a vast yet underutilized source of renewable energy. The microbial valorization of lignin is challenging due to the toxicity of its degradation intermediates, particularly formaldehyde.

High-throughput identification and screening of novel Methylobacterium species using whole-cell MALDI-TOF/MS analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Methylobacterium species are ubiquitous α-proteobacteria that reside in the phyllosphere and are fed by methanol that is emitted from plants. In this study, we applied whole-cell matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass ...

Multiple σEcfG and NepR Proteins Are Involved in the General Stress Response in Methylobacterium extorquens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In Alphaproteobacteria, the general stress response (GSR) is controlled by a conserved partner switch composed of the sigma factor σ(EcfG), its anti-sigma factor NepR and the anti-sigma factor antagonist PhyR.

Cloning and Characterization of Polyhydroxybutyrate Synthase from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 [PDF]
Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2016 Multiple genes encoding putative PHB synthases (up to 5 in single strain) were found in Methylobacterium genomes. As a result of phylogenetic analysis proteins PhaC1, PhaC2, PhaC3 were identified as class I PHB synthases, PhaC4 proteins were identified ...
