Storfa, Ryan T.

Abstract:

Butane-grown cells of Pseudomonas butanovora, Nocardioides sp. CF8 and Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 were tested for their ability to cooxidize methane, ammonia and ethylene. Less than 10 nmol of methane were degraded by each of the bacteria (0.17-0.35 mg protein) in 30 minutes. Hydroxylamine and nitrite accumulated when Nocardioides CF8 and...
