Methane is a promising feedstock for sustainable production of biochemicals and biofuels, and methanotrophic bacteria are interesting platforms for methane bioconversion. Current research focuses on filling the gaps in understanding methane metabolismin methanotrophs and advancing systems metabolic engineering in both methanotrophic bacteria and non-native hosts to realize the potential of methane-based biomanufacturing.
Methane is a promising feedstock with high abundance and low cost for the sustainable production of biochemicals and biofuels. Methanotrophic bacteria are particularly interesting platforms for methane bioconversion as they can utilize methane as a carbon substrate. Recently, breakthroughs in the understanding of methane metabolismin methanotrophs as well as critical advances in systems metabolic engineering of methanotrophic bacteria have been reported. Here, we discuss the important gaps in the understanding of methanotrophic metabolism that have been uncovered recently and the current trends in systems metabolic engineering in both methanotrophic bacteria and non-native hosts to advance the potential of methane-based biomanufacturing.
