      Methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) is a sustainable carbon feedstock for value-added chemical production in aerobic CH<sub>4</sub>-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). Under substrate-limited (e.g., oxygen and nitrogen) conditions, CH<sub>4</sub> oxidation results in the production of various short-chain organic acids and platform chemicals. These CH<sub>4</sub>-derived products could be broadened by ...
    • Draft genome sequence data of a psychrophilic tundra soil methanotroph, Methylobacter psychrophilus Z-0021 (DSM 9914). 

      Rissanen, Antti J.; Mangayil, Rahul; Svenning, Mette Marianne; Khanongnuch, Ramita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-21)
      Psychrophilic methanotrophic bacteria are abundant and play an important role in methane removal in cold methanogenic environments, such as boreal and arctic terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They could be also applied in the bioconversion of biogas and natural gas into value-added products (e.g., chemicals and single-cell protein) in cold regions. Hence, isolation and genome sequencing of ...
