MxaY regulates the lanthanide-mediated methanol dehydrogenase switch in Methylomicrobium buryatense [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Many methylotrophs, microorganisms that consume carbon compounds lacking carbon–carbon bonds, use two different systems to oxidize methanol for energy production and biomass accumulation.

Rare Earth Elements Alter Redox Balance in Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20ZR [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Background: Rare Earth Elements (REEs) control methanol utilization in both methane- and methanol-utilizing microbes. It has been established that the addition of REEs leads to the transcriptional repression of MxaFI-MeDH [a two-subunit methanol ...

Lanthanide-Dependent Methanol and Formaldehyde Oxidation in Methylobacterium aquaticum Strain 22A [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Lanthanides (Ln) are an essential cofactor for XoxF-type methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs) in Gram-negative methylotrophs. The Ln3+ dependency of XoxF has expanded knowledge and raised new questions in methylotrophy, including the differences in ...

Natural Selection in Synthetic Communities Highlights the Roles of Methylococcaceae and Methylophilaceae and Suggests Differential Roles for Alternative Methanol Dehydrogenases in Methane Consumption [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 We describe experiments that follow species dynamics and gene expression patterns in synthetic bacterial communities including species that compete for the single carbon substrate supplied, methane, and species unable to consume methane, which could only

The expanded diversity of methylophilaceae from Lake Washington through cultivation and genomic sequencing of novel ecotypes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We describe five novel Methylophilaceae ecotypes from a single ecological niche in Lake Washington, USA, and compare them to three previously described ecotypes, in terms of their phenotype and genome sequence divergence.

Autotrophic methylotrophy with no methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) in a strain of fluorescent Pseudomonas [PDF]
PeerJBackground Very few true Pseudomonas methylotrophic strains have been described, and in none of them have the pathways for one-carbon (C1) substrate metabolism been elucidated.

Anaerobic microbial methanol conversion in marine sediments [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 1348-1362, March 2021., 2021 Summary Methanol is an ubiquitous compound that plays a role in microbial processes as a carbon and energy source, intermediate in metabolic processes or as end product in fermentation. In anoxic environments, methanol can act as the sole carbon and energy source for several guilds of microorganisms: sulfate‐reducing microorganisms, nitrate‐reducing ...

Physiological Effect of XoxG(4) on Lanthanide-Dependent Methanotrophy [PDF]
mBio, 2018 A recent surprising discovery of the activity of rare earth metals (lanthanides) as enzyme cofactors as well as transcriptional regulators has overturned the traditional assumption of biological inertia of these metals.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 2552-2565, November 2021., 2021 To address the limitation of native C1 metabolism of obligate type I methanotrophs, we proposed a novel platform strain that can utilize methane and multi‐carbon substrates, such as glycerol, simultaneously to boost growth rates and chemical production in Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z. To demonstrate the uses of this concept, we reconstructed a
