✦ Synopsis

The availability of recombinant DNA techniques has enabled the succesful genetic analysis and manupilation of a range of C 1 utilizing microorganisms. It has resulted in the identification of genes of interest on both plasmids and the chromosome; enabled the linkage of chromosomal genes to be determined; established the function and regulatory patterns of genes essential for utilization of C 1 compounds and provided information on the evolution of methanogenic bacteria.
