Bacteria that are able to use methane as a sole carbon and energy source also carry out a broad range of biotransformations, some of which have industrial and environmental significance. Genetic studies on methylotrophs, including the use of recombinant DNA techniques, show promise for the isolation and cloning of genes coding for specific functions.
能够将甲烷作为唯一碳源和能源的细菌还能进行广泛的生物转化,其中一些具有工业和环境意义。对甲基营养菌的遗传研究,包括使用重组 DNA 技术,为分离和克隆编码特定功能的基因提供了希望。
