Methylobacterium radiotolerans is a radiation-tolerating
Gram-negative bacterium.
[.] It has been shown that it can use lanthanide as a cofactor to increase its
methanol dehydrogenase
In enzymology, a methanol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:
:methanol \rightleftharpoons formaldehyde + 2 electrons + 2H+
How the electrons are captured and transported depends upon the kind of methanol dehydrogenas ...
