Amoebae-resisting Bacteria Isolated from Human Nasal Swabs by Amoebal Coculture

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Amoebae feed on bacteria, and few bacteria can resist their microbicidal ability. Amoebal coculture could therefore be used to selectively grow these amoebae-resisting bacteria (ARB), which may be human pathogens. To isolate new ARB, we performed amoebal

Exploring Ectoine Production From Methanol, Formate, and Electrochemically Produced Formate by Methyloligella halotolerans

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial synthesis using renewable C1‐carbon sources like electrochemically produced formate (e‐formate) represents a promising approach for climate‐neutral chemical production. This study investigates formate utilization for ectoine biosynthesis by the halophilic methylotroph Methyloligella halotolerans.

Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase as a metabolic valve advances Methylobacterium/Methylorubrum phyllosphere colonization and plant growth

Nature Communications
The proficiency of phyllosphere microbiomes in efficiently utilizing plant-provided nutrients is pivotal for their successful colonization of plants. The methylotrophic capabilities of Methylobacterium/Methylorubrum play a crucial role in this process ...

Metabolite profiling uncovers plasmid-induced cobalt limitation under methylotrophic growth conditions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:The introduction and maintenance of plasmids in cells is often associated with a reduction of growth rate. The reason for this growth reduction is unclear in many cases. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:We observed a surprisingly large reduction

Bacterial Single‐Cell Proteins as Sustainable Aquafeeds: A Meta‐Analysis of Growth, Physiological Homeostasis, and Antioxidant Capacity

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In aquaculture nutrition, alternative protein sources, such as those derived from bacteria, have recently garnered significant attention as safe and viable replacements for traditional protein sources, including fish meal (FM) and soybean meal (SBM).

Broad-Host-Range cre-lox System for Antibiotic Marker Recycling in Gram-Negative Bacteria

BioTechniques, 2002
Complete genome sequences are now available for many bacterial species that lack sophisticated genetic tools. We describe the development of a broad-host-range crelox system that allows antibiotic marker recycling in a variety of Gram-negative bacteria ...

A catalytic role of XoxF1 as La3+-dependent methanol dehydrogenase in Methylobacterium extorquens strain AM1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In the methylotrophic bacterium Methylobacterium extorquens strain AM1, MxaF, a Ca(2+)-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), is the main enzyme catalyzing methanol oxidation during growth on methanol.

Nutrient Digestibility and Growth Performance of Juvenile Penaeus vannamei Fed Diets Containing the Filamentous Fungus, Paecilomyces variotii, Produced From Corn Ethanol Thin Stillage

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Fungal proteins are emerging ingredients having high potential for use in aquafeeds, yet digestibility and practical inclusion limits remain unclear for marine shrimp. This study evaluated a filamentous fungus (Paecilomyces variotii [PV]) produced from corn ethanol thin stillage as a replacement for salmon by‐product meal (SLM) and poultry by‐product ...

Production of functionalized polyhydroxyalkanoates by genetically modified Methylobacterium extorquens strains

Microbial Cell Factories, 2010
Background Methylotrophic (methanol-utilizing) bacteria offer great potential as cell factories in the production of numerous products from biomass-derived methanol. Bio-methanol is essentially a non-food substrate, an advantage over sugar-utilizing cell
