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...
