Soil microbial communities in restored and unrestored coastal dune ecosystems in California [PDF]

, 2020
Most restoration projects involving invasive plant eradication tend to focus on plant removal with little consideration given to how these invasives change soil microbial communities.

Development of a formaldehyde biosensor with application to synthetic methylotrophy

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2017
Formaldehyde is a prevalent environmental toxin and a key intermediate in single carbon metabolism. The ability to monitor formaldehyde concentration is, therefore, of interest for both environmental monitoring and for metabolic engineering of native and synthetic methylotrophs, but current methods suffer from low sensitivity, complex workflows, or ...

Design, construction and optimization of formaldehyde growth biosensors with broad application in biotechnology

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2024.
In this study, we engineered Escherichia coli to function as cellular biosensors capable of detecting a broad range of formaldehyde concentrations. By using natural and promiscuous formaldehyde assimilation enzymes, we created three distinct growth biosensor strains that rely on formaldehyde for cell growth, demonstrating sensitivity from approximately

Methanol-essential growth of Escherichia coli

Nature Communications, 2018
Engineering synthetic methylotrophy remains challenging. Here, the authors engineer a methanol-essential E. coli by an in silico-guided multiple knockout approach and show a laboratory evolved strain can incorporate up to 24% methanol into core ...

Production of ergothioneine by Methylobacterium species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Metabolomic analysis revealed that Methylobacterium cells accumulate a large amount of ergothioneine (EGT), which is a sulfur-containing, non-proteinogenic, antioxidative amino acid derived from histidine.

New Methyloceanibacter diversity from North Sea sediments includes methanotroph containing solely the soluble methane monooxygenase [PDF]

, 2016
Marine methylotrophs play a key role in the global carbon cycle by metabolizing reduced one-carbon compounds that are found in high concentrations in marine environments.

Planktonic and sediment-associated aerobic methanotrophs in two seep systems along the North American margin [PDF]

, 2008
Methane vents are of significant geochemical and ecological importance. Notable progress has been made towards understanding anaerobic methane oxidation in marine sediments, however, the diversity and distribution of aerobic methanotrophs in the water ...

Methylotrophy in a Lake: from Metagenomics to Single-Organism Physiology [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011
ABSTRACT This review provides a brief summary of ongoing studies in Lake Washington (Seattle, WA) directed at an understanding of the content and activities of microbial communities involved in methylotrophy. One of the findings from culture-independent approaches, including functional metagenomics, is the prominent presence of

Natural Polyhydroxyalkanoates—An Overview of Bacterial Production Methods

Molecules
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular biopolymers that microorganisms use for energy and carbon storage. They are mechanically similar to petrochemical plastics when chemically extracted, but are completely biodegradable.

Diversity of Methylotrophy Pathways in the Genus Paracoccus (Alphaproteobacteria)

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2019
Paracoccus denitrificans Pd 1222 is a model methylotrophic bacterium. Its methylotrophy is based on autotrophic growth (enabled by the Calvin cycle) supported by energy from the oxidation of methanol or methylamine. The growing availability of genome sequence data has made it possible to investigate methylotrophy in other Paracoccus species.
