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

XoxF and the Calvin-Benson cycle mediate lanthanide-dependent growth on methanol in Bradyrhizobium and Sinorhizobium [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyNodule-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 ...

Weathered granites and soils harbour microbes with lanthanide-dependent methylotrophic enzymes [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Prior to soil formation, phosphate liberated by rock weathering is often sequestered into highly insoluble lanthanide phosphate minerals. Dissolution of these minerals releases phosphate and lanthanides to the biosphere.

Diversity and distribution of the lanthanome in aerobic methane-oxidising bacteria [PDF]
Environmental MicrobiomeBackground Lanthanides (Ln) play important and often regulatory roles in the metabolism of methylotrophs, including methanotrophs, particularly through their involvement in methanol oxidation.

Beneath the surface: expanding the known repertoire of methylotrophic metabolism [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyAlthough the metabolic pathways that allow the utilization of one-carbon compounds as sole sources of carbon and energy (methylotrophy) are well characterized, this understanding has been substantially refined and expanded in recent years.

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.

A Periplasmic Lanthanide Mediator, Lanmodulin, in Methylobacterium aquaticum Strain 22A [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Methylobacterium and Methylorubrum species oxidize methanol via pyrroloquinoline quinone-methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs). MDHs can be classified into two major groups, Ca2+-dependent MDH (MxaF) and lanthanide (Ln3+)-dependent MDH (XoxF), whose expression ...

Diel cycle of lanthanide-dependent methylotrophy by TMED127/Methylaequorales bacteria in oligotrophic surface seawater [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyMethanol, the simplest alcohol, has long been known to be a key energy and carbon source for soil and plant-associated bacteria and fungi and is increasingly recognized as an important substrate for marine bacteria.

Modulation of carbon-to-nitrogen ratio shapes the microbial ecology in a methanol-fed recirculating marine denitrifying reactor [PDF]
PeerJBackground Nitrate (NO3−) can accumulate in closed-circuit ecosystems to a toxic level. Adding heterotrophic denitrification process to the water treatment is a strategy to reduce this level. This type of process usually requires the addition of a carbon
