Summary Introduction
Certain micro-organism uses methane and C1 compounds as their carbon and energy source. The pathway for assimilation of C1 compounds differs between the organisms. For example, γ-proteobacterial methylotrophs use the ribulose monophosphate pathway whereas, α-proteobacteria uses serine pathway.
