− | Thus if we could understand and use this enzyme it would be possible to develop tools to minimize the methane leakage at many places like barns and gas hydrates. However our knowledge about methanotrophs is limited and culturing them is relatively difficult and slow. That is why we want to implement MMO into <i>Escherichia coli (E. coli)</i> so that it can breakdown methane. Since methanol, the breakdown product of methane, is poisonous, we will also implement the Ribulose-Monophosphate (RuMP)- pathway from <i>Bacillus methanolicus</i> to convert methanol to biomass in three steps. To hold the bacteria we want to design an air-filter that could be used practically anywhere for this purpose. | + | Thus if we could understand and use this enzyme it would be possible to develop tools to minimize the methane leakage at many places like barns and gas hydrates.
