Abstract
A recently developed methodology of directly measuring the oxidation and incorporation patterns of carbon substrate in continuous cultures of RuMP-type methylotrophs is extended to batch cultures of the obligate methylotrophMethylomonas L3. The ratio of cyclic to total substrate oxidation varies with the initial methanol concentration from 0 to 68%. Formaldehyde, as a methanol cosubstrate, enhances the net substrate oxidation. The substrate oxidation and incorporation pattern is also affected by the state of the culture inoculum.
