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].
