Methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyzes the first step in methanol use by methylotrophic
bacteria and the second step in methane conversion by methanotrophs. Gram-negative …

Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria are capable of utilizing methane as their sole energy
source. They are commonly found at the oxic/anoxic interfaces of environments such as …

Aerial plant surfaces represent the largest biological interface on Earth and provide
essential services as sites of carbon dioxide fixation, molecular oxygen release, and primary …

Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria consume methane as it diffuses away from methanogenic
zones of soil and sediment. They act as a biofilter to reduce methane emissions to the …

So far, only members of the bacterial phyla Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia are known
to grow methanotrophically under aerobic conditions. Here we report that this metabolic trait …

Methylotrophy is a metabolic capability possessed by microorganisms that allows them to
build biomass and to obtain energy from organic substrates containing no carbon–carbon …

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

In the past few years, the field of methylotrophy has undergone a significant transformation
in terms of discovery of novel types of methylotrophs, novel modes of methylotrophy, and …

The current climatic change is predominantly driven by excessive anthropogenic CO2
emissions. As industrial bioprocesses primarily depend on food-competing organic …

The genus Methylobacterium, when first proposed by Patt et al. in 1976, was a monospecific
genus created to accommodate a single pink pigmented facultatively methylotrophic …
