Title:
HIGH GROWTH METHANOTROPHIC BACTERIAL STRAIN METHYLOMONAS 16A
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002020728
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A high growth methanotrophic bacterial strain capable of growth on a C1 carbon substrate has been isolated and characterized. The strain has the unique ability to utilize both methane and methanol as a sole carbon source and has been demonstrated to possess a functional Embden-Meyerhof carbon flux pathway. The possession of this pathway conveys an energetic advantage to the strain, making it particularly suitable as a production platform for the production of biomass from a C1 carbon source.
