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.

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).

Comparative Genomics and Mutational Analysis Reveals a Novel XoxF-Utilizing Methylotroph in the Roseobacter Group Isolated From the Marine Environment [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The Roseobacter group comprises a significant group of marine bacteria which are involved in global carbon and sulfur cycles. Some members are methylotrophs, using one-carbon compounds as a carbon and energy source.

Diel cycle of lanthanide-dependent methylotrophy by TMED127/Methylaequorales bacteria in oligotrophic surface seawater [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyMethanol, the simplest alcohol, has long been known to be a key energy and carbon source for soil and plant-associated bacteria and fungi and is increasingly recognized as an important substrate for marine bacteria.

Role of Methylotrophy During Symbiosis Between Methylobacterium nodulans and Crotalaria podocarpa [PDF]
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 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 ...

Methylotrophy in the Mire: direct and indirect routes for methane production in thawing permafrost [PDF]
mSystemsWhile wetlands are major sources of biogenic methane (CH4), our understanding of resident microbial metabolism is incomplete, which compromises the prediction of CH4 emissions under ongoing climate change. Here, we employed genome-resolved multi-omics to

Comparative transcriptomics in three Methylophilaceae species uncover different strategies for environmental adaptation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 We carried out whole transcriptome analysis of three species of Methylophilaceae, Methylotenera mobilis, Methylotenera versatilis and Methylovorus glucosotrophus, in order to determine which metabolic pathways are actively transcribed in cultures grown ...

Synthetic methylotrophic yeasts for the sustainable fuel and chemical production [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2022 Global energy-related emissions, in particular carbon dioxide, are rapidly increasing. Without immediate and strong reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5 °C and thus mitigating climate change is beyond reach.

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.
