Autotrophic and methylotrophic microorganisms are able to grow at
the expense of one-carbon compounds (e.g. carbon dioxide,
formaldehyde) as the principal carbon sources for the synthesis of
cell material, using light, inorganic compounds or one-carbon
compounds as energy sources. The study of the special adaptations
required in aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms to sustain an
autotrophic or methylotrophic mode of life is a fascinating field
of research for scientists from various disciplines. Current
research efforts not only focus on fundamental aspects, i.e.
metabolic pathways and their regulation, ecology, energy conversion
and genetics, but also the possible application of these organisms,
in waste water treatment, degradation of xenobiotics, single-cell
protein production, as biocatalysts for the production of fine
chemicals, draws strong attention. The aim of this series is to
provide annual reviews on the biochemistry, physiology, ecology,
genetics, and application of microbial autotrophs and
methylotrophs. The scope of the series includes all aspects of the
biology of these microbes, and will deal with phototrophic and
chemolithotrophic prokaryotic autotrophs, carboxydobacteria,
acetogenic-, methanogenic- and methylotrophic bacteria, as well as
methylotrophic eukaryotes. The exciting advances made in recent
years in the study of these organisms is reflected in the chapters
of this first volume which have been written by experts in the
field. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all the
contributors for their stimulating and comprehensive chapters.
