Abstract
|
|
|
|
The genome of Methylococcus geothermalis strain IM1T, a moderately thermophilic aerobic methanotroph isolated from a geothermal field in South Korea, was sequenced. This bacterium possesses genes encoding the particulate and soluble membrane monooxygenase necessary for methane oxidation, and enzymes required for the following reaction steps converting methanol to CO2. Genes for carbon assimilation pathways including the ribulose monophosphate, serine, and Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycles, assimilation of various nitrogen compounds, and detoxification of reactive nitrogen species such as hydroxylamine oxidoreductase were also found.
