The article deals with the theoretical problems of obtaining certain substrates transformation products using immobilized cells of the methane-oxidizing bacteria. This process is based on the ability of these bacteria to cometabolize the substrates which are not used for growth. The methane-oxidizing bacteria are shown to utilize ethane during growth on methanol. Cometabolism of ethane and methanol occurs due to the presence of conjugated points of these substances oxidizing reactions as well as of the oxidation products assimilation reactions. The optimal concentrations of ethane and methanol are established for the methane-oxidizing bacteria growth and for formation of the ethane oxidation products by means of the immobilized cells.
本文探讨了利用甲烷氧化细菌的固定化细胞获得某些底物转化产物的理论问题。该过程基于这些细菌对非生长所用底物进行共代谢的能力。研究表明，甲烷氧化细菌在以甲醇为生长底物时能够利用乙烷。乙烷和甲醇的共代谢是由于这些物质氧化反应的共轭点以及氧化产物同化反应的存在而发生的。通过固定化细胞，确定了甲烷氧化细菌生长和形成乙烷氧化产物时乙烷和甲醇的最佳浓度。
