Transposon mutagenesis was applied to the isolation of mutants of the facultatively methylotrophic Acetobacter methanolzcus MB58. The transposon Tn5 (pSU2011) was transferred from Escherichiu eoli SM 10 by means of conjugation to Acetobacter methanolicus MB58. Four out of 1850 stable Km-resistant tr

Methylotrophic bacteria which use hexulose-6-phosphate synthase for fixing formaldehyde are able to oxidize i t cyclically via 6-phosphogluconate. This also holds true for Acetobacter methanolicus MB58. Generally methylotrophic bacteria oxidize formaldehyde via formate to CO,. Up to now only the pre
## Acetobacter methanolicus MB 58/4 (IMET 10945) synthesises a capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and an O-side chain of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) built up of the same Gal&Galp repeating unit'. As a part of studies of the cell envelopes and carbohydrates of this species, we now describe the structure
The ability of A . melhunolicus sp. MB 58 and of a cytochrome c-deficient mutant ( A . methanolicus sp. MB 58105) to synthesize ATP by the oxidation of methanol, ethanol, glucose, formate and formaldehyde was investigated. It was found out that cellsof the wild type were energized and that cells of
