Methylomicrobium buryatense
Genome resequencing of a haloalkaliphilic methanotroph that grows robustly in pure culture with a 3 hour doubling time. These favorable growth characteristics make this strain a promising model organism for studying aerobic methanotroph physiology as well as a potential platform for industrial biocatalysis of methane, the principle component of natural gas.
