Dawn of methylotrophy [PDF]

Science, 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.

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

Draft genomes of two strains of flavobacterium isolated from lake washington sediment. [PDF]

, 2015
We report sequencing the genomes of two new Flavobacterium strains isolated from Lake Washington sediment. From genomic contents, versatile lifestyles were predicted but not bona fide methylotrophy.

Guidance for engineering of synthetic methylotrophy based on methanol metabolism in methylotrophy

RSC Advances, 2017
Methanol represents an attractive non-food raw material in biotechnological processes from an economic and process point of view. It is vital to elucidate methanol metabolic pathways, which will help to genetically construct non-native methylotrophs.

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

SIP metagenomics identifies uncultivated Methylophilaceae as dimethylsulphide degrading bacteria in soil and lake sediment. [PDF]

, 2015
Dimethylsulphide (DMS) has an important role in the global sulphur cycle and atmospheric chemistry. Microorganisms using DMS as sole carbon, sulphur or energy source, contribute to the cycling of DMS in a wide variety of ecosystems.

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.
