High impact information on Methylocystaceae

  • Polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed soluble methane monooxygenase genes in methanotrophic enrichments, and 16S rRNA analysis identified Methylocystis parvus with 98% similarity, further indicating the presence of a type II methanotroph [1].
  • Comparative analysis of the conventional and novel pmo (particulate methane monooxygenase) operons from methylocystis strain SC2 [2].
  • We probed total RNA extracts of Methylocystis strain SC2 for gene expression of pmoA [3].
  • Primer extension experiments revealed that the pmo cluster is probably transcribed from a single transcriptional start site located 300 bp upstream of the start of the first gene, pmoC, for Methylocystis sp. strain M [4].
  • The soluble MMO enzyme complex from Methylocystis sp. strain M also oxidizes a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic compounds, including trichloroethylene [5].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Methylocystaceae

  • Role of heterotrophic bacteria in complete mineralization of trichloroethylene by Methylocystis sp. strain M [6].
  • Soluble methane monooxygenase could not be detected in many Methylocystis strains either by an enzyme activity test (oxidation of naphthalene) or by PCR-based amplification of an mmoX gene [7].
  • The methanotrophic strain Methylocystis sp. GB 25 DSM 7674 was applied in order to accumulate PHB in a rapid, non-sterile process [8].
  • The degradation of chlorobenzene was investigated with the specially chosen strain Methylocystis sp. GB 14 DSM 12955, using 23 ml headspace vials and in a soil column filled with quaternary aquifer material from a depth of 20 m [9].
  • Purification and properties of methanol dehydrogenase from Methylocystis sp. GB 25 [10].
 

Biological context of Methylocystaceae

  • Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene from Methylocystis sp. strain M have confirmed that it is most closely related to the type II methanotroph Methylocystis parvus OBBP, which, unlike Methylocystis sp. strain M, does not possess an sMMO [5].
 

Gene context of Methylocystaceae

  • Wide distribution of a novel pmoA-like gene copy among type II methanotrophs, and its expression in Methylocystis strain SC2 [3].
  • For these purposes monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognize each subunit of the hydroxylase of Methylocystis sp. WI 14 (alpha-subunit [9E5/F2], beta-subunit [4E2/G11], gamma-subunit [10G3/D7]) were produced [11].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Methylocystaceae

  • We developed a method based on real-time PCR for the specific and rapid enumeration of a trichloroethylene-degrading methanotroph, Methylocystis sp. M, with the aim of monitoring the strain in groundwater [12].
