Methanotroph biotechnology
With the recent drop in natural gas prices in the United States, there is heightened interest to use methanotrophic bacteria to produce commercial products such as liquid fuels. This project was recently funded to explore this paradigm. This paper describes a bacterium that grows on methane and produces copious amounts of polyhydroxy butyrate.

متن کاملHeat-labile enzymes in a psychrophilic bacterium.
The oxidative and fermentative activities of a psychrophilic bacterium (strain 82), whose maximal growth temperature is 35 C, were completely destroyed by exposure of the cells to 46 C for about 1 hr, whereas those of mesophilic Escherichia coli were unaffected. Similar results were obtained with cell-free extracts. In attempts to determine some of the specific enzymes inactivated in strain 82 ...
متن کاملGrowth of psychrophilic bacteria.
On the basis of the temperature range in which growth can occur, bacteria are usually divided into 3 groups, namely: thermophiles, mesophiles, and psychrophiles (sometimes called cryophiles or rhigophiles). Thermophiles have temperature optima (generally quite close to temperature maxima) 10 to 25 degrees above the temperature optima of mesophiles. Thermophiles and mesophiles are easily disting...
متن کاملAerobic methanotrophic bacteria of cold ecosystems.
This review summarizes the recent advances in understanding the ecophysiological role and structure-function features of methanotrophic bacteria living in various cold ecosystems. The occurrence of methanotrophs in a majority of psychrosphere sites was verified by direct measurement of their methane-utilizing activity, by electron microscopy and immunofluorescent observations, and analyses of s...
متن کاملEstimation of methanotroph abundance in a freshwater lake sediment.
The numbers of methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) in the sediments of Lake Washington were estimated using three culture-independent methods. Quantitative slot-blot hybridizations were performed with type I and type II methanotroph-specific probes. These data were compared to data from quantitative hybridizations using a pmoA-specific probe and a eubacterial probe. From the combined hyb...
