Table 2 Rates of key metabolic processes active during PHB and methane co-consumption compared to growth on methane
Growth on CH4 | Co-consumption of PHB and CH4 | |
|---|---|---|
µ (h−1) | 0.107 | 0.154 |
Methane consumption (mmol h−1 g-DW−1) | 14.9 | 13.2 |
PHB degradation (mmol h−1 g-DW−1) | 0 | 0.608 |
Malyl-CoA lyase (mmol h−1 g-DW−1) | 12.3 | 11.8 |
Glycine synthase (mmol h−1 g-DW−1) | 1.3 | 0.41 |
