The rapid freeze-quench method was used to trap intermediates in the reaction of O 2 with the dinuclear iron(II) clusters in the soluble methane monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) and in the R2 subunit of the ribonucleotide reductase from Escherichia coli. (psu.edu)
Bath6
Various strains of M. capsulatus have been isolated and studied, particularly M. capsulatus (Bath), M. capsulatus (Texas) and M. capsulatus (Aberdeen). (wikipedia.org)

In a new study, researchers have discovered that the methanotroph Methylococcus capsulatus Bath has an enzyme that helps it grow in the presence of small amounts of H 2 S. (illinois.edu)
Methanotroph1
Methylococcus capsulatus is a Type I methanotroph, meaning that it is a member of the Gammaproteobacteria and that it utilizes the ribulose monophosphate pathway (RuMP) for formaldehyde assimilation. (wikipedia.org)
Temperature1
M. capsulatus has also been demonstrated to be thermotolerant - that is, it can grow well up to 50 °C, though its optimum growth temperature is 37 °C. In addition, M. capsulatus can live in conditions in which there is little molecular oxygen available. (wikipedia.org)
Natural gas3
