Exploring the capabilities of Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z to produce exopolymeric substances from methane
To better understand the molecular basis of methane-derived extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis to profile global gene expression in Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z under different environmental conditions. Specifically, cultures were grown under varying pH, temperature, and methane concentrations to identify transcriptional responses associated with enhanced EPS synthesis and methane oxidation pathways.
