BACKGROUND Environmental, geopolitical, and economic factors are reshaping our view
of global energy and manufacturing demands. Addressing these challenges may require a …

Methanotrophic bacteria represent a potential route to methane utilization and mitigation of
methane emissions. In the first step of their metabolic pathway, aerobic methanotrophs use …

The rapid increase of the potent greenhouse gas methane in the atmosphere creates great
urgency to develop and deploy technologies for methane mitigation. One approach to …

Methane, as natural gas or biogas, is the least expensive source of carbon for (bio) chemical
synthesis. Scalable biological upgrading of this simple alkane to chemicals and fuels can …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is
primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as …

Highlights•Autotrophic acetogens, carboxidotrophs, and methanotrophs can grow on CO,
CO 2 or CH 4.•Gas fermentation allows an economic production of commodity chemicals …

Aerobic life is possible because the molecular structure of oxygen (O2) makes direct
reaction with most organic materials at ambient temperatures an exceptionally slow process …

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

Methane is a promising feedstock with high abundance and low cost for the sustainable
production of biochemicals and biofuels. Methanotrophic bacteria are particularly interesting …

Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas (GHG), with nearly 60% of
emissions derived from anthropogenic sources. Microbial conversion of methane to fuels …
