Abstract
Methanotrophs are widespread bacteria and utilize a number of hydrocarbons under normal conditions. In this study, a model reaction of propylene oxidation by methane-oxidizing bacteria Methylococcus capsulatus (M) was considered. The influence of abiotic factors (the flow rate, exogenous metals) on methane-oxidizing bacteria has been studied. It was found that increasing the flow velocity slightly effect on the growth of bacterial biomass. Studies have shown that under the action of salts of the studied metals a significant decrease the propylene oxidation by bacteria is observed. Methanotrophs exhibit resistance to stress factors, which ensures their wide distribution in nature and provides biotechnological potential.
