Utilization of insoluble lanthanide oxides by a methanotrophic bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus Bath
Utilization properties of soluble and insoluble lanthanides in a methanotroph Methylococcus capsulatus strain Bath were investigated. Transcriptome analysis presented the possibility that a gene cluster for synthesis of an enterobactin-like metal chelator contributes to the dissolution of insoluble lanthanides.
