Abstract:
Methylotrophy is a kind of widespread microbe which can use carbon compound as their only carbon and energy sources.It has been reported that methylotrophy can directly use one carbon com-pound to transform into their own metabolic one carbon unit,then these one metabolic one carbon units can be used as energy and carbon skeleton by organisms,which is a main part in one carbon metabolism.Because this is a novel metabolic system,it can be used in the study of biological metabolism and evo-lution.Based on the previous study about Methylobacterium sp.MB200 in our lab,here we summarized the research improvements about methylotrophy from their taxonomy,metabolism,genomics and ap-plications.
