Methanol is an attractive substrate for biological production of chemicals and fuels. Engineering methylotrophic Escherichia coli as a platform organism for converting methanol to metabolites is desirable. Prior efforts to engineer methylotrophic E. coli were limited by methanol dehydrogenases (Mdhs) with unfavorable enzyme kinetics. We engineered E. coli to utilize methanol using a superior NA...

A novel atmospheric methanol measurement technique, employing selective gas-phase catalytic conversion of methanol to formaldehyde followed by detection of the formaldehyde product, has been developed and tested. The effects of temperature, gas flow rate, gas composition, reactor-bed length, and reactor-bed composition on the methanol conversion efficiency of a molybdenum-rich, ironmolybdate ca...

BACKGROUND The aim of this review was to estimate the lethal and exposure doses of a representative symptom (blindness) of methanol exposure in humans by reviewing data from previous articles. METHODS Available articles published from 1970 to 2016 that investigated the dose-response relationship for methanol exposure (i.e., the exposure concentration and the biological markers/clinical sympto...

The title compound, [Sb(2)(C(6)H(5))(6)(CH(3)O)(2)O]·2CH(3)OH, is the methanol disolvate of a dinuclear triphenyl-anti-mony derivative. The mol-ecule shows C(s) symmetry. The Sb-O-Sb angles cover a range from 89.65 (10)° to 102.08 (13)°. In the crystal structure, two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present.

Methanol is one of the most popular organic solvents that have extensive applications in industries and household usages [1]. There are different amounts of methanol in all alcoholic and some non-alcoholic drinks (such as herbal distillates) [2,3]. Methanol is produced and stored as a carbon reserve in all land plants tissues liquid pools, especially green stems and leaves in all life duration ...
