HIGH GROWTH METHANOTROPHIC BACTERIAL STRAIN METHYLOMONAS 16A

摘要

A high growth methanotrophic bacterial strain capable of growth on a C1 carb on substrate has been isolated and characterized. The strain has the unique ability to utilize both methane and methanol as a sole carbon source and has been demonstrated to possess a functional Embden-Meyerhof carbon flux pathwa y. The possession of this pathway conveys an energetic advantage to the strain, making it particularly suitable as a production platform for the production of biomass from a C1 carbon source.
