Generation of an Escherichia coli strain growing on methanol via the ribulose monophosphate cycle

Using one carbon compounds as feedstock is a promising approach in abating climate change. Here, the authors report the conversion of E. coli into a synthetic methylotroph that assimilates methanol via the ribulose monophosphate cycle and a set of distinctive mutations.
