Abstract
Methanotrophs have interesting properties concerning the oxidation and dehalogenation of both straight-chain and aromatic hydrocarbons. However, the potential of these bacteria in the degradation of these compounds cannot be assessed until more experiments are carried out. It seems likely that genetic capabilities will play a major role in the exploitation of these bacteria. We have shown that it is possible to use recombinant DNA techniques to generate mutants and transfer genes in methanotrophic bacteria.
