The cofactor challenge in synthetic methylotrophy: bioengineering and industrial applications
Methanol is a promising feedstock for industrial bioproduction: it can be produced renewably and has high solubility and limited microbial toxicity. One of the key challenges for its bio-industrial application is the first enzymatic oxidation step to formaldehyde.

Metabolic Origins Methyl groups, including those derived from or ending up in methane, are managed through a dizzying array of metabolic pathways. Some of these originated early in life's history, and their evolution paralleled and contributed to Earth's chemistry. Adam et al.

Cross-Feeding of a Toxic Metabolite in a Synthetic Lignocellulose-Degrading Microbial Community
The recalcitrance of complex organic polymers such as lignocellulose is one of the major obstacles to sustainable energy production from plant biomass, and the generation of toxic intermediates can negatively impact the efficiency of microbial ...

Methylotrophy in Freshwater Beggiatoa alba Strains [PDF]
ABSTRACT Two freshwater strains of the gammaproteobacterium Beggiatoa alba , B18LD and OH75-2a, are able to use methanol as a sole carbon and energy source under microoxic conditions. Genes encoding a methanol dehydrogenase large-subunit homolog and four enzymes of the tetrahydromethanopterin-dependent C
