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,...

Isolation and Characterization of Lytic and Lysogenic Phages for Methanotrophic Bacterial Systems
DownloadFall 2019
Methanotrophic bacteria have the potential to act as a platform for several novel bio industrial processes, due to their capacity to convert methane, often from impure sources, into valuable products. These products can include, but are not limited to, isoprenoids for the development of bio-jet...

Physiological and Genetic Investigations into Putative Sulfur Oxidation Systems of Methylococcales.
DownloadFall 2023
Methylotrophic bacteria are ecologically widespread chemotrophs which utilize single carbon compounds as their primary energetic and assimilatory substrate for biomass. Those which utilize methane are commonly referred to as methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB), or methanotrophs. The majority of...

Production and detection of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in the alphaproteobacterial methanotroph Methylocystis sp. Rockwell
DownloadSpring 2023
Anthropogenic agricultural and industrial activities have intensified in the past few decades to satisfy the food and energy demands of a rapidly growing human population. The increase in these activities is causing extremely high emission of greenhouse gases which results in global warming and...
