Abstract

This study explores the ability of methanotrophs to convert biogas into biopolymers, addressing H ₂S as a limitation in the utilization of biogas as a carbon source for bioconversion. Transcriptomic analysis was conducted to understand the growth and changes in the expression patterns of Type I and II methanotrophs under varying H ₂S concentrations. Results suggested that Type II methanotrophs can possess a native H ₂S utilization pathway. Both Type I and II methanotrophs were evaluated for their growth and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from biogas. Methylocystis sp. MJC1 and Methylocystis sp. OK1 exhibited a maximum biomass production of 4.0 and 4.5 gDCW/L, respectively, in fed-batch culture, aligning with the transcriptome data. Furthermore, Methylocystis sp. MJC1 produced 2.9 g PHB/L from biogas through gas fermentation. These findings underscore biogas-based biotechnology as an innovative solution for environmental and industrial challenges with further optimization and productivity enhancement research expected to broaden the potential in this field.
