New Pseudomonad Utilizing Methanol for Growth
AUTOR(ES)
Chalfan, Y.
RESUMO
A bacterium capable of rapid growth on methanol as sole carbon source was isolated and classified as a new pseudomonad. Its doubling time was about 100 min at 32 to 37 C, and it grew well at methanol concentrations up to 2%. The organism was sensitive to phosphate, but reasonable cell densities could be obtained by using pH control. Cell yields of about 31%, based on methanol consumed, were obtained. The amino acid pattern of the protein indicated that the bacterium holds promise as a source of single-cell protein.
