AccessionGenProp0031
Namemethane utilization
TypeMANUAL
DescriptionBiochemical Pathways (ed. Gerhard Michal) notes that methane oxidation is performed only by obligate methylotrophs (heterotrophs able to grow with 1-carbon compounds as the only carbon source) and never by facultative methylotrophs (which may use methanol). The characteristic enzyme is methane monooxygenase, also called methane hydroxylase.
