D-Alanine Metabolism in M. capsulatus
Description:
Methanotrophs are a unique group of Gram-negative bacteria that grow aerobically on methane and utilize methane as the sole source of carbon and energy. Methanotrophs such as Methylococcus capsulatus(M. capsulatus) are responsible for the oxidation of biologically generated methane, and they are therefore of great environmental importance in reducing the amount of this greenhouse gas released to the Earth's atmosphere (Ref.1). A key step in peptidoglycan layer assembly and deposition in the cell wall of M. ca...
