Abstract  

Methanobactin(mb)is biochelator that appears to function as an agent for copper acquisition and uptake in methanotrophs. The production of mb during growth of Methylosinus trichosporium IMV 3011 on methane and methanol was determined by split nitrate mineral salts/CAS-Cu(chrome azurol S)plates. mb was found to be accumulated in the spent medium of Methylosinus trichosporium IMV 3011 under copper-limited condition. The mb production ability of methanol-grown cells were obviously higher than that of methane-grown cells. It has been speculated that methanol can act as the electron-donating substrate to regenerate the NADH and drive mb synthesis. The effect of mb from Methylosinus trichosporium IMV3011 on the growth lag,growth rate and whole-cell pMMO(particles Methane Monooxygenase)activity of other methanotrophs were measured respectively to assess the specifity of mb. It has been shown that mb from Methylosinus trichosporium IMV 3011 can accelerate the expression of whole cell pMMO activity of other methanotrophs when cultures are exposed to elevatory copper concentration. Also,mb from Methylosinus trichosporium IMV 3011 can shorten the growth lag and increase the growth rate of other methanotrophs either in elevatory or constant copper concentration. The results suggested that other methanotroph may take delivery of copper from mb released by Methylosinus trichosporium IMV 3011.
