Characterization of the Copper Starvation Response in the pMMO-Obligate Methanotrophic Bacterium Methylomicrobium album strain BG8
DownloadSpring 2024
Studies on copper as a critical nutrient in methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) have mostly focused on the well-characterized “copper switch” in species with dual methane monooxygenase (MMO) variants (Takeguchi & Okura, 2000, Knapp et al., 2007, Kenney et al., 2016). Copper availability dictates...

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are extracellular vesicles released from the outer leaflet of the membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. These membrane-derived vesicles are found in numerous different phyla of Gram-negative bacteria. OMV functions are as diverse as the bacteria that produce them,...

Exploring the potential of Methylomicrobium album BG8 as a platform for the bioconversion of methane and methanol to isoprenoids
DownloadSpring 2024
Methane and methanol are inexpensive and sustainable carbon feedstocks for bioconversion to value-added products. Methane being a greenhouse gas, its conversion has the added benefit of mitigating emissions that affect climate change. Methanotrophic bacteria consume methane and methanol as sole...

Synthesis and degradation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) under different nutrient combinations in the alphaproteobacterial methanotroph, Methylocystis sp. Rockwell
DownloadFall 2023
Methane emissions and plastic pollution are two distinct environmental issues that arise from human activities. The ongoing increases in methane emissions and its atmospheric concentration pose a major environmental threat as methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a warming effect 28 times...
