Development of Bacillus methanolicus methanol dehydrogenase with improved formaldehyde reduction activity

Abstract Methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), an NAD+-dependent oxidoreductase, reversibly converts formaldehyde to methanol. This activity is a key step for both toxic formaldehyde elimination and methanol production in bacterial methylotrophy. We mutated decameric Bacillus methanolicus MDH by directed ev...
