Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Methylobacterium species are phytosymbionts utilizing methanol emitted from plants. They utilize two different methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs) that require calcium and lanthanides. We examined the regulation mechanism of Ln-dependent gene expression, and found factors involved in the regulation. On the other hand, Ln-dependent MDH gene is encoded in many bacterial genomes. We found and characterized new Ln-dependent methylotrophs.
