Comprehensive molecular characterization of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 adapted for 1-butanol tolerance
BACKGROUND The toxicity of alcohols is one of the major roadblocks of biological fermentation for biofuels production. Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, a facultative methylotrophic α-proteobacterium, has been engineered to generate 1-butanol from cheap carbon feedstocks through a synthetic metabolic pathway. However, M. extorquens AM1 is vulnerable to solvent stress, which impedes further devel...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 for 1-butanol production
BACKGROUND Butanol is a promising next generation fuel and a bulk chemical precursor. Although clostridia are the primary industrial microbes for the fermentative production of 1-butanol, alternative engineered hosts have the potential to generate 1-butanol from alternative carbon feedstocks via synthetic metabolic pathways. Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, a facultative methylotrophic α-proteo...
متن کاملThe second subunit of methanol dehydrogenase of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of a novel small (beta) subunit of methanol dehydrogenase of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 (previously Pseudomonas AM1) has been determined. Work with the whole protein has shown that is has an alpha 2 beta 2 configuration.
متن کاملGenetic organization of methylamine utilization genes from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
An isolated 5.2-kb fragment of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 DNA was found to contain a gene cluster involved in methylamine utilization. Analysis of polypeptides synthesized in an Escherichia coli T7 expression system showed that five genes were present. Two of the genes encoded the large and small subunits of methylamine dehydrogenase, and a third encoded amicyanin, the presumed electron ac...
متن کاملCo-Consumption of Methanol and Succinate by Methylobacterium extorquens AM1
Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 is a facultative methylotrophic Alphaproteobacterium and has been subject to intense study under pure methylotrophic as well as pure heterotrophic growth conditions in the past. Here, we investigated the metabolism of M. extorquens AM1 under mixed substrate conditions, i.e., in the presence of methanol plus succinate. We found that both substrates were co-consume...
