Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text.

Ideally this entry shall become one comprehensive and continuous article. Bulleted lists, for instance, were only used because it is impossible to automatically integrate independent facts into a continuous text.

Much of the current information on this page has been automatically compiled from Pubmed.

This precompiled information serves as a substrate and matrix to embed your contributions, but it is by no means the final word - Homo sapiens can do much better!

Disease relevance of Methylococcaceae

We examined the ultrastructure of the cell envelope in Type I, Methylomonas albus (BG8), and Type II, Methylosinus trichosporium (OB3b), methane-oxidizing bacteria by using different fixatives, ruthenium red (RR) combinations and resins [1].

High impact information on Methylococcaceae

Methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) containing soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) are of interest in natural environments due to the high co-metabolic activity of this enzyme with contaminants such as trichloroethylene [2].
Four new methane-oxidizing bacteria have been isolated from marine samples taken at the Hyperion sewage outfall, near Los Angeles, CA [3].
Isolation and characterization of a novel coenzyme Q from some methane-oxidizing bacteria [4].
Ethane oxidation by methane-oxidizing bacteria [5].
Their presence suggests that the capacity for sterol biosynthesis in methanotrophic bacteria is limited to the family Methylococcaceae but which have widely different optimal growth temperatures [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Methylococcaceae

Effect of nitrogen source on growth and trichloroethylene degradation by methane-oxidizing bacteria [7].
