On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Methane, as natural gas or biogas, is the least expensive source of carbon for (bio) chemical
synthesis. Scalable biological upgrading of this simple alkane to chemicals and fuels can …

Methanotrophs, cells that consume methane (CH4) as their sole source of carbon and
energy, play key roles in the global carbon cycle, including controlling anthropogenic and …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the metabolic aspects of aerobic obligate
methanotrophy. Aerobic methanotrophs are a unique group of gram-negative bacteria that …

The basic photophysics, transport properties, state of the art, and challenges in OLED
science and technology, and the major developments in structurally integrated OLED-based …

Methanobactins (mbs) are low-molecular-mass (< 1,200 Da) copper-binding peptides, or
chalkophores, produced by many methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). These …

Covering: up to 2019 Siderophores are natural products which have attracted interest due to
their ability to bind metal ions with high affinities. This review considers the complex …

Methane-oxidizing bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment and are globally important in
oxidizing the potent greenhouse gas methane. It is also well recognized that they have wide …

Copper-binding metallophores, or chalkophores, play a role in microbial copper
homeostasis that is analogous to that of siderophores in iron homeostasis. The best-studied …

Biological oxidation of methane to methanol by aerobic bacteria is catalysed by two different
enzymes, the cytoplasmic or soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) and the membrane …
