Abstract excerpt
Thiosphaera pantotropha grows on methanol as carbon and energy source following spontaneous mutation to a Mox+ phenotype after incubation in media containing methanol. Acquisition of ability to grow on methanol correlates with the appearance of a c-type cytochrome, molecular mass 26 kDa, which is suggested to substitute for the product of the moxG gene, which is the electron acceptor from methanol in related...
