Highly efficient bioconversion of methane to methanol using a novel type I Methylomonas sp. DH ‐1 newly isolated from brewery waste sludge
Tóm tắt
Methane is the major component of natural and shale gas. Methane can be converted into methanol via a bioprocess using methanotrophs, and methanol is a valuable chemical feedstock for the production of value‐added chemicals. This work demonstrates highly effective bioconversion of methane to methanol using a newly isolated novel methanotroph,
A novel methanotroph strain was isolated from activated sludge from a brewery plant and characterized using phylogenetic analysis, electron microscopy and chemotaxonomic analysis. This aerobic, Gram‐negative, non‐motile rod‐shaped type I methanotroph was designated as
It was demonstrated that isolation and application of a new methanotroph strain is a practical way of improving bioconversion efficiency in the conversion of methane to methanol. Moreover, one promising feature of
