Assessing Lanthanide‐Dependent Methanol Dehydrogenase Activity: The Assay Matters [PDF]
ChemBioChem, Volume 25, Issue 5, March 1, 2024., 2023 Artificial dye-coupled assays have been widely adopted as a rapid and convenient method to assess the activity of methanol dehydrogenases (MDH). Lanthanide(Ln)-dependent XoxF-MDHs are able to incorporate different lanthanides (Lns) in their active site ...

Novel facultative Methylocella strains are active methane consumers at terrestrial natural gas seeps [PDF]
Microbiome, 2019 Background Natural gas seeps contribute to global climate change by releasing substantial amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane and other climate-active gases including ethane and propane to the atmosphere. However, methanotrophs, bacteria capable

Comparative transcriptomics in three Methylophilaceae species uncover different strategies for environmental adaptation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 We carried out whole transcriptome analysis of three species of Methylophilaceae, Methylotenera mobilis, Methylotenera versatilis and Methylovorus glucosotrophus, in order to determine which metabolic pathways are actively transcribed in cultures grown ...

Comprehensive Comparative Genomics and Phenotyping of Methylobacterium Species [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs), a major bacterial group found in the plant phyllosphere, comprise two genera: Methylobacterium and Methylorubrum. They have been separated into three major clades: A, B (Methylorubrum), and C.

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.

Transcriptional Regulation of Methanol Dehydrogenases in the Methanotrophic Bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus Bath by Soluble and Insoluble Lanthanides. [PDF]
Microbes Environ, 2023 The effects of soluble and insoluble lanthanides on gene expression in Methylococcus capsulatus Bath were investigated. Genes for lanthanide-containing methanol dehydrogenases (XoxF-MDHs) and their calcium-containing counterparts (MxaFI-MDHs) were up ...

Physiological Effect of XoxG(4) on Lanthanide-Dependent Methanotrophy
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.
