Methane is an abundant gas used in energy recovery systems, heating, and transport. Although intensively researched, the myriad of potential biotechnological applications of methanotrophic bacteria has not been comprehensively discussed in a single review. some micro-organism may be genetically engineered to use methane and produce new compounds such as carotenoids or farnesene. This chapter demonstrates the potential bioconversion procsess to generate value while using methane as a carbon source. While there are notable challenges using a low solubility gas as a carbon source, the massive methane resource, and the potential cost savings while sequestering a greenhouse gas, keeps interest in these methods. |
