Methylocella: a gourmand among methanotrophs
Abstract
A recent article in Nature describes the ability of Methylocella silvestris to grow simultaneously on methane and longer chain alkanes, something never before observed in the microbial world. It adds to a growing list of unique metabolic traits that distinguish Methylocella from any other bacterium.
Keywords: alkane; facultative methanotroph; methane; methanotroph.
