- Abstract
Methylomonas sp. ZR1 was an isolated new methanotrophs that could utilize methane and methanol growing fast and synthesizing value added compounds such as lycopene. In this study, the genomic study integrated with the comparative transcriptome analysis were taken to understanding the metabolic characteristic of ZR1 grown on methane and methanol at normal and high temperature regime. Complete Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway (EMP), Entner–Doudoroff pathway (ED), Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PP) and Tricarboxy Acid Cycle (TCA) were found to be operated in ZR1. In addition, the energy saving ppi-dependent EMP enzyme, coupled with the complete and efficient central carbon metabolic network might be responsible for its fast growing nature. Transcript level analysis of the central carbon metabolism indicated that formaldehyde metabolism was a key nod that may be in charge of the carbon conversion efficiency (CCE) divergent of ZR1 grown on methanol and methane. Flexible nitrogen and carotene metabolism pattern were also investigated in ZR1. Nitrogenase genes in ZR1 were found to be highly expressed with methane even in the presence of sufficient nitrate. It appears that, higher lycopene production in ZR1 grown on methane might be attributed to the higher proportion of transcript level of C40 to C30 metabolic gene. Higher transcript level of exopolysaccharides metabolic gene and stress responding proteins indicated that ZR1 was confronted with severer growth stress with methanol than with methane. Additionally, lower transcript level of the TCA cycle, the dramatic high expression level of the nitric oxide reductase and stress responding protein, revealed the imbalance of the central carbon and nitrogen metabolic status, which would result in the worse growth of ZR1 with methanol at 30 °C.
