Comparative Genomics and Mutational Analysis Reveals a Novel XoxF-Utilizing Methylotroph in the Roseobacter Group Isolated From the Marine Environment

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Interrogating the Role of the Two Distinct Fructose-Bisphosphate Aldolases of Bacillus methanolicus by Site-Directed Mutagenesis of Key Amino Acids and Gene Repression by CRISPR Interference

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The Gram-positive Bacillus methanolicus shows plasmid-dependent methylotrophy. This facultative ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) cycle methylotroph possesses two fructose bisphosphate aldolases (FBA) with distinct kinetic properties.

Discovery and Biochemical Characterization of a Methanol Dehydrogenase From Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Bioconversion of C1 chemicals such as methane and methanol into higher carbon-chain chemicals has been widely studied. Methanol oxidation catalyzed by methanol dehydrogenase (Mdh) is one of the key steps in methanol utilization in bacterial methylotrophy.

The cofactor challenge in synthetic methylotrophy: bioengineering and industrial applications

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Biotechnology, 2023
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.

Global Transcriptional Response of Methylorubrum extorquens to Formaldehyde Stress Expands the Role of EfgA and Is Distinct from Antibiotic Translational Inhibition

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
The potency and indiscriminate nature of formaldehyde reactivity upon biological molecules make it a universal stressor. However, some organisms such as Methylorubrum extorquens possess means to rapidly and effectively mitigate formaldehyde-induced ...

Dawn of methylotrophy [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2019
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

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
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]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008
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
