Hello dear colleagues,
I would like to address my question to the researchers who work with methanotrophs. Let us assume that we have 1 mol oxidized CH4 with a type II methanotroph to methanol. This is further oxidized to formaldehyde. I am curious if anyone knows which part of formaldehyde is further oxidized to CO2 and which part assimilated to cell biomass?
I will be happy to receive any suggestions and paper recommendations! Thank you!
