Summary

Relief of copper deficiency during growth promotes the proliferation of intracytoplasmic membranes together with synthesis of particulate methane mono-oxgenase (MMC) inMethylosinus trichosporium OB3b. Particulate MMO functionsin vitro (in cell-free extracts and membrane preparations) with either succinate or NADH as electron donor but soluble MMO functions only with NADH.
