Inhibition of dimethyl ether and methane oxidation in Methylococcus capsulatus and Methylosinus trichosporium

R Patel et al. J Bacteriol. 1976 May.

Abstract

Metal-chelating or -binding agents inhibited the oxidation of dimethyl ether and methane, but not methanol, by cell suspensions of Methylococcus capsulatus and Methylosinus trichosporium. Evidence suggests that the involvement of metal-containing enzymatic systems in the initial step of oxidation of dimethyl ether and methane.
