Comparative Genomic Analysis of a MB200 Isolated from Biogas Digesters Provided New Insights into the Carbon Metabolism of Methylotrophic Bacteria.

Methylotrophic bacteria are widely distributed in nature and can be applied in bioconversion because of their ability to use one-carbon source. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism underlying utilization of high methanol content and other carbon sources by strain MB200 via comparative genomics and analysis of carbon metabolism pathway. The genomic analysis revealed that the strain MB200 had a genome size of 5.
