Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 is a facultative methylotroph capable of growth on both single-carbon and multicarbon compounds. Mutants defective in a pathway involved in converting acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) to glyoxylate (the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway) are unable to grow on both C(1) and C(2) compounds, showing that both modes of growth have this pathway in common. However, growth on C(2) compounds via the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway should require glyoxylate consumption via malate synthase, but a m ...[more]
