Abstract |
|
Pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs were showed slow growth in nitrate minerals salts media, methane served as carbon source and its required prolonged incubation time to get a measurable growth. The naphthalene oxidation assay confirmed the methane utilization by expression of sMMO which was detected as brown coloration in varying intensities. Methane utilization was confirmed by GC analysis also and reference strains utilized methane in the range of 0.3 to 55.28 %; our isolates (MSY200) utilized methane is up to 34.88 %. |
