Genetics in Marine Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria

Abstract

The research objectives of this project are to define the organization and regulation of methanol oxidation genes in a Marine methane- oxidizing bacterium (methylomonas sp. A4). Two of the genes have been physically mapped, MOXF and MOXI, and expression studies have identified the direction of transcription. The 5' region of MOXF has been sequenced which has identified a putative promoter sequence. The promoter region for MOXF will be confirmed and studied in the next year.
