Obligate methylotrophy: evaluation of dimethyl ether as a C1 compound [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1982 The suitability of dimethyl ether as a C1 compound was examined with the obligate methylobacterium Methylococcus capsulatus (Texas). The ether did not support growth and was not formed during growth on methane; it was an inhibitor of growth and oxidation of methane and a poor oxidation substrate for cell suspensions.

Methylotrophy in a Lake: from Metagenomics to Single-Organism Physiology [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011 ABSTRACT This review provides a brief summary of ongoing studies in Lake Washington (Seattle, WA) directed at an understanding of the content and activities of microbial communities involved in methylotrophy. One of the findings from culture-independent approaches, including functional metagenomics, is the prominent presence of

Natural Polyhydroxyalkanoates—An Overview of Bacterial Production Methods
MoleculesPolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular biopolymers that microorganisms use for energy and carbon storage. They are mechanically similar to petrochemical plastics when chemically extracted, but are completely biodegradable.

Methanol-essential growth of Escherichia coli
Nature Communications, 2018 Engineering synthetic methylotrophy remains challenging. Here, the authors engineer a methanol-essential E. coli by an in silico-guided multiple knockout approach and show a laboratory evolved strain can incorporate up to 24% methanol into core ...

Production of ergothioneine by Methylobacterium species
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Metabolomic analysis revealed that Methylobacterium cells accumulate a large amount of ergothioneine (EGT), which is a sulfur-containing, non-proteinogenic, antioxidative amino acid derived from histidine.

Lanthanide-Dependent Regulation of Methylotrophy in
mSphere, 2018 Methylobacterium species are representative of methylotrophic bacteria. Their genomes usually encode two types of methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs): MxaF and XoxF.

Aerobic proteobacterial methylotrophs in Movile Cave: genomic and metagenomic analyses
Microbiome, 2018 Background Movile Cave (Mangalia, Romania) is a unique ecosystem where the food web is sustained by microbial primary production, analogous to deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
