Methylotrophy is a field of study dealing with microorganisms capable of utilization of
compounds devoid of carbon–carbon bonds (C1 compounds). In this review, we highlight …

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 …

Methylotrophy is a metabolic capability possessed by microorganisms that allows them to
build biomass and to obtain energy from organic substrates containing no carbon–carbon …

The focus of this review is on the recent data from the omics approaches, measuring the
presence of methylotrophs in natural environments. Both Bacteria and Archaea are …

Methylotrophy is the ability to use reduced one-carbon compounds, such as methanol, as a
single source of carbon and energy. Methanol is, due to its availability and potential for …

Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 has two distinct types of methanol dehydrogenase
(MeDH) enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. MxaFI-MeDH …

Lanthanide-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases have recently emerged as environmentally
