| Accession | GenProp0031 |
| Name | methane utilization |
| Type | MANUAL |
| Description | Biochemical 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. |
