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.

Lanthanide-Dependent Regulation of Methylotrophy in
mSphere, 2018 Methylobacterium species are representative of methylotrophic bacteria. Their genomes usually encode two types of methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs): MxaF and XoxF.

Comprehensive Comparative Genomics and Phenotyping of Methylobacterium Species
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.

Rare Earth Elements Alter Redox Balance in Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20ZR
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Background: Rare Earth Elements (REEs) control methanol utilization in both methane- and methanol-utilizing microbes. It has been established that the addition of REEs leads to the transcriptional repression of MxaFI-MeDH [a two-subunit methanol ...

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 ...

Microbes and environments, 2017 Methanol-consuming culturable bacteria were isolated from the plant surface, rhizosphere, and inside the stem of Neobuxbaumia macrocephala. All 38 isolates were facultative methylotrophic microorganisms. Their classification included the Classes Actinobacteria, Sphingobacteriia, Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaproteobacteria.

Novel facultative Methylocella strains are active methane consumers at terrestrial natural gas seeps
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
