Disease relevance of pmoA

The nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding pMMO (pmoA) was determined for both isolates and for Methylomonas gracilis [1].

High impact information on pmoA

A 2.1-kb region was sequenced and found to contain both pmoB and a second gene, pmoA [2].
Three key genes: 16S rRNA; pmoA and mmoX, encoding for the particulate and soluble methane monooxygenases respectively, were cloned from the isolates and sequenced [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of pmoA

Quantitative detection of methanotrophs in soil by novel pmoA-targeted real-time PCR assays [4].
