Abstract

Particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) is a membrane-bound metalloenzyme that oxidizes methane to methanol in methanotrophic bacteria, organisms that consume methane as their sole carbon and energy source. In order to understand the biochemistry of methane oxidation, pMMO must be isolated from the native organism. This chapter describes protocols for growth, isolation, and characterization of pMMO from Methylocystis species strain Rockwell.
