Enhanced biological fixation of methane for microbial lipid production by recombinant Methylomicrobium buryatense

Abstract Background Due to the success of shale gas development in the US, the production cost of natural gas has been reduced significantly, which in turn has made methane (CH4), the major component of natural gas, a potential alternative substrate for bioconversion processes compared with other hi...
