Yeast methylotrophy: metabolism, gene regulation and peroxisome homeostasis. [PDF]
Eukaryotic methylotrophs, which are able to obtain all the carbon and energy needed for growth from methanol, are restricted to a limited number of yeast species.

Biosynthesis of L‐5‐methyltetrahydrofolate by genetically engineered Escherichia coli
L ‐5‐Methyltetrahydrofolate (L‐5‐MTHF) is the only biologically active form of folate in the human body. Production of L‐5‐MTHF by using microbes is an emerging consideration for green synthesis. Here, Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) was engineered to increase the production of L‐5‐MTHF. After optimizing the conditions and supplementing exogenous substances,

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

Improving formaldehyde consumption drives methanol assimilation in engineered E. coli [PDF]
Due to volatile sugar prices, the food vs fuel debate, and recent increases in the supply of natural gas, methanol has emerged as a promising feedstock for the bio-based economy.

A pBBR1‐based vector with IncP group plasmid compatibility for Methylorubrum extorquens
The pBBR1 derivative pMis1_1B, which was characterized in this study, represents a novel plasmid for Methylorubrum extorquens, which is compatible with the widely used pCM system. The growth defect caused by the plasmid was found to be enhanced by the presence of a pCM plasmid, but cotransformation could be demonstrated to be possible.

Comparative genomics in acid mine drainage biofilm communities reveals metabolic and structural differentiation of co-occurring archaea [PDF]
Background Metal sulfide mineral dissolution during bioleaching and acid mine drainage (AMD) formation creates an environment that is inhospitable to most life. Despite dominance by a small number of bacteria, AMD microbial biofilm communities contain a

Established tools and emerging trends for the production of recombinant proteins and metabolites in Pichia pastoris [PDF]
Besides bakers' yeast, the methylotrophic yeast Komagataella phaffii (also known as Pichia pastoris) has been developed into the most popular yeast cell factory for the production of heterologous proteins.

Methane monooxygenases: central enzymes in methanotrophy with promising biotechnological applications [PDF]
Worldwide, the use of methane is limited to generating power, electricity, heating, and for production of chemicals. We believe this valuable gas can be employed more widely.
