metabolism | ammonia-supplied Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b containing soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) grow at the fastest rate, while the highest poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate content is obtained by transferring nitrate-supplied bacteria with the expression of particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) to nitrogen-free mineral salts (NFMS) + 0.005 mmol/l Cu medium. The slightly lower growth rate and lower cell yield of ammonia supplied bacteria expressing particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) might be attributed to high similarity between the gene encoding particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) and the sequence of the ammoniamonooxygenase gene. The methane monooxygenase activity, growth rate and intracellular poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate content of bacteria expressing pMMO are greatly decreased after being continuously cultivated with N2. However, in the cyclic NO3-N2 cultivation regime, the activity of N2-fixing bacteria expressing pMMO is significantly increased | Methylosinus trichosporium |
