Background | Methylobacterium extorquens (strain PA1) is a facultative aerobic Gram-negative bacterium commonly found in the environment, especially associated with plants which produce methanol when metabolizing pectin during cell wall synthesis. Methylobacterium extorquens PA1 can colonize plants more effectively than the common laboratory strain AM1. This organism is capable of growth on one-carbon compounds such as methanol. Methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde which is then used metabolically to generate either energy or biomass. At least 25 genes are required for this complex process of converting methanol to formaldehyde and this specialized metabolic pathway is of great interest. (EBI Integr8) |
