Microorganisms, 2015 Methylamine plays an important role in the global carbon and nitrogen budget; microorganisms that grow on reduced single carbon compounds, methylotrophs, serve as a major biological sink for methylamine in aerobic environments.

Role of methylotrophy during symbiosis between Methylobacterium nodulans and Crotalaria podocarpa [PDF]
, 2005 Some rare leguminous plants of the genus Crotalaria are specifically nodulated by the methylotrophic bacterium Methylobacterium nodulans. In this study, the expression and role of bacterial methylotrophy were investigated during symbiosis between M ...

A transdisciplinary approach to the initial validation of a single cell protein as an alternative protein source for use in aquafeeds [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The human population is growing and, globally, we must meet the challenge of increased protein needs required to feed this population. Single cell proteins (SCP), when coupled to aquaculture production, offer a means to ensure future protein needs can be

Laboratory divergence of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 through unintended domestication and past selection for antibiotic resistance [PDF]
, 2014 Background: A common assumption of microorganisms is that laboratory stocks will remain genetically and phenotypically constant over time, and across laboratories.

Correlated production and consumption of chloromethane in the Arabidopsis thaliana phyllosphere [PDF]
, 2017 Chloromethane (CH3Cl) is a toxic gas mainly produced naturally, in particular by plants, and its emissions contribute to ozone destruction in the stratosphere. Conversely, CH3Cl can be degraded and used as the sole carbon and energy source by specialised

The NADP-Dependent Methylene Tetrahydromethanopterin Dehydrogenase in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1998 ABSTRACT An NADP-dependent methylene tetrahydromethanopterin (H 4 MPT) dehydrogenase has recently been proposed to be involved in formaldehyde oxidation to CO 2 in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.

Production of green fluorescent protein by the methylotrophic bacterium Methylobacterium extorquens [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000 The production of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in Methylobacterium extorquens was studied by creating four different constructs using pJB3KmD, pRK310 and pVK101 vectors, as well as pLac and soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) promoters. Plasmids were introduced into the cells by electroporation. Expression of GFP by selected clones was evaluated by

Methylobacterium genome sequences: a reference blueprint to investigate microbial metabolism of C1 compounds from natural and industrial sources. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Methylotrophy describes the ability of organisms to grow on reduced organic compounds without carbon-carbon bonds. The genomes of two pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophic bacteria of the Alpha-proteobacterial genus Methylobacterium, the ...

Organising metabolic networks: cycles in flux distributions [PDF]
, 2009 Metabolic networks are among the most widely studied biological systems. The topology and interconnections of metabolic reactions have been well described for many species, but are not sufficient to understand how their activity is regulated in living ...
