Methanotrophs synthesize methanobactin, a secondary metabolite that binds copper with an unprecedentedly high affinity. Such a strategy may provide methanotrophs a "copper monopoly" that can inhibit the activity of copper-containing enzymes of other microbes, e.g., copper-dependent N<sub>2</sub>O reductases. Here, we show that methanobactin from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b inhibited N<sub>2</sub>O reduction in denitrifiers. When Pseudomonas stutzeri DCP-Ps1 was incubated in cocultures with M ...[more]
