Notes:
The activity of methanol dehydrogenase of Protaminobacter thiaminophagus ATCC 21371 and its 10 mutants which where able to overproduce amino acids from methanol was studied. It was found that the activity of methanol dehydrogenase depended on the used strain varied from 56.1 to 100.6 mU/mg d. w. of cells. Specific production of amino acids was between 4.3 × 10-7 and 13.0 × 10-7 μg/CFU.Statistical analysis confirmed expected high positive correlation (r = 0.93) between activity of methanol dehydrogenase and specific production of amino acids.Based on the measurement of methanol dehydrogenase activity a rapid method of estimation of amino acid production ability of Protaminobacter thiaminophagus mutants was developed.
