A recent article in Nature describes the ability of Methylocella silvestris to grow simultaneously on methane and longer chain alkanes, something never before observed in the microbial world. It adds to a growing list of unique metabolic traits that distinguish Methylocella from any other bacterium.
最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一篇文章描述了甲基孢囊菌同时利用甲烷和长链烷烃生长的能力，这是微生物世界从未观察到的现象。这一发现增加了甲基孢囊菌区别于其他任何细菌的独特代谢特征的不断增长的列表。
