In this work, we produced methanol from methane using whole cells of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b as the catalyst and optimized reaction conditions such as addition of methanol dehydrogenase inhibitors, reducing power source and reaction time for an efficient accumulation of methanol. We carried out batch reaction of methane to methanol conversion in the presence of optimized concentration of methanol dehydrogenase inhibitors (potassium phosphate, EDTA, NaCl) and sodium formate as a reducing power source. As a result, we could accumulate methanol in the reactor with high conversion and high productivity. Our result provides an efficient method of producing methanol from methane using methanotroph. |
