ATP- and Polyphosphate-Dependent Glucokinases from Aerobic Methanotrophs

Microorganisms, 2019
The genes encoding adenosine triphosphate (ATP)- and polyphosphate (polyP)-dependent glucokinases (Glk) were identified in the aerobic obligate methanotroph Methylomonas sp. 12. The recombinant proteins were obtained by the heterologous expression of the

XoxF and the Calvin-Benson cycle mediate lanthanide-dependent growth on methanol in Bradyrhizobium and Sinorhizobium

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Nodule-forming bacteria play crucial roles in plant health and nutrition by providing fixed nitrogen to leguminous plants. Despite the importance of this relationship, how nodule-forming bacteria are affected by plant exudates and soil minerals is not ...

Improving the Methanol Tolerance of an Escherichia coli Methylotroph via Adaptive Laboratory Evolution Enhances Synthetic Methanol Utilization

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
There is great interest in developing synthetic methylotrophs that harbor methane and methanol utilization pathways in heterologous hosts such as Escherichia coli for industrial bioconversion of one-carbon compounds.

Adaptive laboratory evolution of native methanol assimilation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Nature Communications, 2020
Methylotrophic metabolism enables growth on methanol, an alternative to sugar fermentation. Here the authors use adaptive laboratory evolution to uncover native methylotrophy capacity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Brockarchaeota, a novel archaeal phylum with unique and versatile carbon cycling pathways

Nature Communications, 2021
Geothermal environments are hotspots for carbon cycling. Here, De Anda et al. reconstruct archaeal genomes from terrestrial and deep-sea geothermal sediments, and propose the classification of these microbes as a new phylum, ‘Brockarchaeota’, with unique

Identification of Proteins and Genes Expressed by Methylophaga thiooxydans During Growth on Dimethylsulfide and Their Presence in Other Members of the Genus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Dimethylsulfide is a volatile organic sulfur compound that provides the largest input of biogenic sulfur from the oceans to the atmosphere, and thence back to land, constituting an important link in the global sulfur cycle.

H2‐dependent modulation of tetrahydromethanopterin S‐methyltransferase (Mtr complex) activity by the small protein MtrR in Methanosarcina mazei

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 14, Page 4397-4410, July 2026.
Small protein MtrR is a regulator of the Mtr methyltransferase complex in Methanosarcina mazei. It binds specifically to the MtrA subunit and modulates Mtr activity in response to hydrogen (H2) availability. Deleting mtrR impairs growth in the presence but not absence of H2, indicating its role in directing methyl transfer toward an energy‐conserving ...

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 ...

Comparative Genomics of Candidatus Methylomirabilis Species and Description of Ca. Methylomirabilis Lanthanidiphila

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, which can be converted by microorganism at the expense of oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, metal-oxides or sulfate. The bacterium ‘Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera,’ a member of the NC10 phylum, is capable of nitrite ...

Fully Organic Agroforestry Practices in Rice Cultivation: Effects on Soil Bacterial Microbiota, Soil Health and Grain Quality

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sustainable practices are increasingly recognised for benefiting soil biodiversity, health, and overall grain quality. This study examined a unique rice agroecosystem adopting fully organic practices and agroforestry through a seasonal characterisation of soil bacterial microbiota and physicochemical parameters.
