In the past few years, the field of methylotrophy has undergone a significant transformation
in terms of discovery of novel types of methylotrophs, novel modes of methylotrophy, and …

Hydrocarbons have been part of the biosphere for millions of years, and a diverse group of
prokaryotes has evolved to use them as a source of carbon and energy. To date, the vast …

Nowadays a growing demand for green chemicals and cleantech solutions is motivating the
industry to strive for biobased building blocks. We have identified the tertiary carbon atom …
