Impact of Copper on the Physiology and Transcriptome of Methylosinus Trichosporium OB3b Grown on Either Methane or Methanol. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b can grow on methanol in the absence but not presence of copper due: (1) overgeneration of reducing power from methanol oxidation; (2) formate accumulation leading to acidification of the growth medium and inactivation of formate dehydrogenase; and (3) lack of expression of potential oxidative stress defence genes ...

C3 Compound Metabolism in the Thermoacidophilic Methanotroph Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Terrestrial and oceanic geothermal areas emit substantial amounts of small hydrocarbons. The thermoacidophilic verrucomicrobial methanotroph Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV, isolated from the Solfatara volcano, was shown to grow on 2‐propanol and acetone using steady‐state continuous cultures.

Influence of Rare Earth Elements on Prebiotic Reaction Networks Resembling the Biologically Relevant Krebs Cycle. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Rare earth elements can act as mediators in a prebiotic reaction network, producing various intermediates of the citric acid cycle starting from glyoxylate and pyruvate. The ionic radius and the resulting variation in Lewis acidity has a significant influence on the observed product scope.

Functional investigation of methanol dehydrogenase-like protein XoxF in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 [PDF]

Microbiology, 2010
Methanol dehydrogenase-like protein XoxF of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 exhibits a sequence identity of 50 % to the catalytic subunit MxaF of periplasmic methanol dehydrogenase in the same organism. The latter has been characterized in detail, identified as a pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent protein, and shown to be essential for growth in ...

Rare earth elements in biology: From biochemical curiosity to solutions for extractive industries. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
To meet society's demands for technologies that use rare earth elements (including those that allow a decarbonized society), we need to increase the volume and efficiency of extraction by mining and recycling. Microbial rare earth biochemistry offers numerous enabling biotechnologies to achieve this. Abstract Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical for

Occurrence of XoxF-type methanol dehydrogenases in bacteria inhabiting light lanthanide-rich shale rock [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2020
ABSTRACT This study analyzed the occurrence of lanthanide-dependent (XoxF type) methanol dehydrogenases in the bacterial community dominated by Proteobacteria inhabiting shale rock. In total, 22 sequence matches of XoxF were identified in the metaproteome of the community.

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.

Metagenome Assembled Genome of a Novel Verrucomicrobial Methanotroph From Pantelleria Island

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Verrucomicrobial methanotrophs are a group of aerobic bacteria isolated from volcanic environments. They are acidophiles, characterized by the presence of a particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) and a XoxF-type methanol dehydrogenase (MDH ...

Switching Between Methanol Accumulation and Cell Growth by Expression Control of Methanol Dehydrogenase in Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b Mutant

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Methanotrophs have been used to convert methane to methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. In order to accumulate methanol using methanotrophs, methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) must be downregulated as it consumes methanol. Here, we describe a methanol

Contrasting Methane, Sulfide and Nitrogen-Loading Regimes in Bioreactors Shape Microbial Communities Originating From Methane-Rich Coastal Sediment of the Stockholm Archipelago. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
In this study, microbial communities are enriched in brackish anoxic bioreactors with methane, sulfide, nitrate and ammonium. Novel diversity is identified and functionally analysed. ABSTRACT Coastal ecosystems are increasingly exposed to high nutrient loads and salinity intrusions due to rising seawater levels.
