Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria lessen the impact of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) not only because they are a sink for atmospheric methane but also because they oxidize it before it is emitted to the atmospheric reservoir. Aerobic methanotrophs, unlike anaerobic methane oxidizing archaea,...

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...

One of the major challenges that humanity faces is the buildup of plastic waste in the environment. As a biodegradable plastic with similar physical properties to consumer plastics, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is an excellent option for their replacement. PHB is produced inside bacterial cells,...
