✦ Synopsis

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 presence of a membrane-bound, dye-mediated formate dehydrogenase has been demonstrated in Acetobacter methanolicus MB58. I n this paper evidence for the presence of an aldehyde dehydrogenase is provided which catalyzes the oxidation of formaldehyde by means of toluylene blue as an electron acceptor. Hence Acetobacter methanolicus MB58 possesses a t least two routes for the dissimilation of formaldehyde to CO,.

Acetobacter methanoIicus MB58 can grow on methanol. Since this substrate exhibits to be energy deficient there must be a chance to oxidize methanol to COg merely for purpose of energy generation. For the assimilation of methanol the FBP variant of the RuMP pathway is used. Hence methanol can be oxid
