The autotrophic growth of Micrococcus denitrificans on Methanol.

R B Cox, J R Quayle
PMCID: PMC1165774  PMID: 1212208

Abstract

Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase is present at a high specific activity in extracts of methanol-grown Microccus denitrificans. Enzymic and physiological evidence indicates that, during growth on methanol, the ribulose bisphosphate cycle is the route of carbon assimilation.
