Addition of copper to the medium for Methylomonas albus BG8 increased cell yield and methane monooxygenase activity. Intracytoplasmic membrane was formed only in cells grown with copper supplementation. Additionally, the abundances of two major membrane proteins were affected by copper in the growth medium. These findings indicate that effects of copper on the physiology of methanotrophic bacteria are not limited to those on types II and X.
向白硫细菌(Methylomonas albus BG8)的培养基中添加铜会增加细胞产量和甲烷单加氧酶活性。只有在添加铜的情况下培养的细胞中才会形成细胞内内膜。此外,生长培养基中的铜会影响两种主要膜蛋白的丰度。这些发现表明,铜对甲烷营养细菌生理的影响不仅限于对 II 型和 X 型的影响。
