Lian He, Joseph Groom, Mary E. Lidstrom
Abstract
The gammaproteobacterial methanotrophs possess a unique central metabolic architecture where methane and other reduced C1 carbon sources are assimilated through the ribulose monophosphate cycle. Although efforts have been made to better understand methanotrophic metabolism in these bacteria via experimental and computational approaches, many questions remain unanswered.
