  • Description:
    Methylotroph [methʹil-o-trofʺ]

    From the Greek, methy, “wine,” plus trophē, “food,” methylotrophs (Figure) are a diverse group of bacteria that can synthesize all their cell constituents from reduced single-carbon compounds, such as methanol or methane, or multicarbon compounds with no carbon–carbon bonds. The first methylotroph, Methylomonas methanica, was described (as Bacillus methanicus) grown aerobically on methane by Söhngen in 1906.
