Most methanogenic archaea use the rudimentary hydrogenotrophic pathway—from CO2
and H2 to methane—as the terminal step of microbial biomass degradation in anoxic …

Methylobacterium species are representative of methylotrophic bacteria. Their genomes
usually encode two types of methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs): MxaF and XoxF. The former …

Methylotrophy is the ability of organisms to grow at the expense of reduced one-carbon
compounds, such as methanol or methane. Here, we used transposon sequencing …

Many obligately heterotrophic methylotrophs oxidize thiosulfate as an additional electron
source during growth on C 1 compounds. Although two different pathways of thiosulfate …

Mycobacteria produce several unusual cofactors that contribute to their metabolic versatility
and capability to survive in different environments. Mycofactocin (MFT) is a redox cofactor …

In this opinion article I wish to highlight the fact that reactions linked to
tetrahydromethanopterin (H4MPT) and methanofuran (MF), the ones involved in …

Methylotrophy, the ability of microorganisms to grow on reduced one-carbon substrates such
as methane or methanol, is a feature of various bacterial species. The prevailing oxidation …

Formyl‐methanofuran dehydrogenase reversibly catalyzes under anoxic conditions the
reductive fixation of CO2 onto the one‐carbon carrier methanofuran (MFR) forming formyl …

Discovery and biosynthesis of the redox cofactor mycofactocin Page 1 DISCOVERY AND
BIOSYNTHESIS OF THE REDOX COFACTOR MYCOFACTOCIN Dissertation zur Erlangung des …

Methylofuran (MYFR) is a formyl-carrying coenzyme essential for the oxidation of
formaldehyde in most methylotrophic bacteria. In Methylorubrum extorquens, MYFR …
