Summary It has been found that Methylomonas L3, an obligate methylotroph, has active transport systems for methanol and formaldehyde, and uses βpH as driving force for the formaldehyde system. The effects of substrate active transport on the dynamics of continuous cultures were demonstrated experimentally. These include unrealistic transient biomass yields. The dynamic studies also indicate that these active transport systems may be subject to genetic repression-induction controls.
