A novel microbial consortium efficiently degrades phenol and produces 1,2-epoxypropane from propene. This consortium, dominated by Methylosinus trichosporium, offers a sustainable solution for bioremediation and chemical synthesis.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Environmental Science
  • Biotechnology

Context:

  • Methane-oxidizing microbial consortia are crucial for carbon cycling.
  • Developing efficient biocatalysts for environmental remediation and chemical production is essential.

Purpose:

  • To establish and characterize a stable methane-oxidizing microbial consortium.
  • To evaluate its capabilities in phenol degradation and 1,2-epoxypropane production.

Summary:

  • A stable methane-oxidizing microbial consortium was developed from an agricultural sample.
  • The consortium demonstrated high efficiency in degrading phenol (>99% in 11h) and producing 1,2-epoxypropane (up to 5.0 mmol/L).
  • The consortium comprises Methylosinus trichosporium (methanotroph) and four heterotrophs; M. trichosporium Y9 possesses both sMMO and pMMO genes.
