Characterisation of novel methylotrophs and the role of xoxF in coastal marine environments [PDF]

, 2017
Methanol is one of the most abundant volatile organic gases in the atmosphere, and whilst much is known about the sources of methanol, much less is known about the sinks. Methylotrophs are able to use one carbon compounds, such as methanol, as their sole

Assessing Lanthanide‐Dependent Methanol Dehydrogenase Activity: The Assay Matters [PDF]

ChemBioChem, Volume 25, Issue 5, March 1, 2024.
No Lu‐ck with lutetium! We compare a widely used artificial dye‐coupled assay to assess the enzyme activity of lanthanide‐dependent methanol dehydrogenases with a protein‐coupled assay and show why the assay matters. Furthermore, we explain quickly why the metal content of metalloenzymes should be determined before any experiments and how this can help

Lanthanide-Dependent Methanol Metabolism of a Proteobacteria-Dominated Community in a Light Lanthanide-Rich Deep Environment. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2022
This study investigated the occurrence and diversity of proteobacterial XoxF-type methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs) in the microbial community that inhabits a fossil organic matter- and sedimentary lanthanide (Ln3+)-rich underground mine environment using a

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.

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 ...

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.

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

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.
