The suitability of dimethyl ether as a C1 compound was examined with the obligate methylobacterium Methylococcus capsulatus (Texas). The ether did not support growth and was not formed during growth on methane; it was an inhibitor of growth and oxidation of methane and a poor oxidation substrate for cell suspensions. NADH stimulation of methane, but not dimethyl ether, oxidation occurred in cell extracts.
用专性甲基营养菌荚膜甲基球菌(得克萨斯菌株)检测了二甲醚作为C1化合物的适用性。该醚不支持生长,在甲烷生长过程中也不会形成;它是甲烷生长和氧化的抑制剂,也是细胞悬浮液较差的氧化底物。在细胞提取物中,NADH刺激了甲烷的氧化,但未刺激二甲醚的氧化。
