Yeast Methylotrophy: Metabolism, Gene Regulation and Peroxisome Homeostasis [PDF]

International Journal of Microbiology, 2011
Eukaryotic methylotrophs, which are able to obtain all the carbon and energy needed for growth from methanol, are restricted to a limited number of yeast species.

Evolutionary and functional relationships between plant and microbial C₁ metabolism in terrestrial ecosystems. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary One‐carbon (C1) metabolism, centered on the universal methyl donor S‐adenosyl methionine (SAM), plays critical roles in biosynthesis, redox regulation, and stress responses across plants and microbes. A recently proposed photosynthetic C1 pathway links SAM methyl groups directly to RuBisCO‐mediated CO2 assimilation and integrates with nitrogen ...

Lanthanides in Methylotrophy [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2019
Lanthanides were previously thought to be biologically inert owing to their low solubility; however, they have recently been shown to strongly impact the metabolism of methylotrophic bacteria. Leading efforts in this emergent field have demonstrated far-reaching impacts of lanthanide metabolism in biology; from the identification of novel roles of ...

Hyperaccumulation of Gadolinium by Methylorubrum extorquens AM1 Reveals Impacts of Lanthanides on Cellular Processes Beyond Methylotrophy

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Lanthanides (Ln) are a new group of life metals, and many questions remain regarding how they are acquired and used in biology. Methylotrophic bacteria can acquire, transport, biomineralize, and use Ln as part of a cofactor complex with pyrroloquinoline ...

A Methylotrophic Bacterium Growing with the Antidiabetic Drug Metformin as Its Sole Carbon, Nitrogen and Energy Source

Microorganisms, 2022
Metformin is one of the most prescribed antidiabetic agents worldwide and is also considered for other therapeutic applications including cancer and endocrine disorders. It is largely unmetabolized by human enzymes and its presence in the environment has

Aerobic methanotrophy increases the net iron reduction in methanogenic lake sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
In methane (CH4) generating sediments, methane oxidation coupled with iron reduction was suggested to be catalyzed by archaea and bacterial methanotrophs of the order Methylococcales. However, the co-existence of these aerobic and anaerobic microbes, the

Microbial Community Dynamics in Early Tufa Biofilms. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Microbial succession shapes the early development of tufa biofilms in karst freshwater systems, with prokaryotic communities stabilizing rapidly and microeukaryotes contributing to extracellular polymeric substance production and carbonate entrapment. Site‐specific hydrodynamics and organic inputs drive community specialization, ultimately influencing ...

Unifying microorganisms and macrograzers in intertidal rocky shore ecological networks. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Over the past decades, our understanding of the vital role microbes play in ecosystem processes has greatly expanded. However, we still have limited knowledge about how microbial communities interact with larger organisms. Many existing representations of microbial interactions are based on co‐occurrence patterns, which do not provide clear ...

Synthetic Methylotrophy in Yeasts: Towards a Circular Bioeconomy [PDF]

Trends in Biotechnology, 2021
Mitigating climate change is a key driver for the development of sustainable and CO2-neutral production processes. In this regard, connecting carbon capture and utilization processes to derive microbial C1 fermentation substrates from CO2 is highly promising. This strategy uses methylotrophic microbes to unlock next-generation processes, converting CO2-

Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Terpolymer from Methanol via the Reverse β-Oxidation Pathway in the Presence of Lanthanide

Microorganisms, 2022
Methylorubrum extorquens AM1 is the attractive platform for the production of value-added products from methanol. We previously demonstrated that M. extorquens equipped with PHA synthase with broad substrate specificity synthesized polyhydroxyalkanoates (
