Overexpression of native carbonic anhydrases increases carbon conversion efficiency in the methanotrophic biocatalyst Methylococcus capsulatus Bath

Description: In this article authors show that M. capsulatus expresses five carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms, one α-CA, one γ-CA, and three β-CAs, that play a role in its inorganic carbon metabolism and CO2-dependent growth. The authors developed an engineered methanotrophic biocatalyst overexpressing the native α-CA and β-CA with a 2.5-fold improvement in the conversion of CH4 to biomass.

Construction of a broad-host-range Anderson promoter series and particulate methane monoxygenase promoter variants expand the methanotroph genetic toolbox

Description: This article determined the copy number of three broad-host-range plasmids in Methylococcus capsulatus Bath and Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, representing phylogenetically diverse Gammaproteobacterial and Alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs, respectively. The authors mutagenized the native M. Capsulatus particulate methane monooxygenase promoter and identified variants with activity that expand the activity range of synthetic, constitutive promotors functional not only in M. capsulatus, but a… more
