A corrinoid-dependent catabolic pathway for growth of a Methylobacterium strain with chloromethane
TL;DR: Remarkable features of this pathway for the catabolism of chloromethane thus include the involvement of a corrinoid-dependent methyltransferase system for dehalogenation in an aerobe and a set of enzymes specifically involved in funneling the C1 moiety derived from chlorometrichane into central metabolism.

Chloromethane Metabolism by Methylobacterium sp. Strain CM4
TL;DR: A pathway for chloromethane metabolism that depends on methyltransferase and dehydrogenase activities is proposed, which is similar to that observed after growth with methanol and about three times larger than the yield with formate.

Chloromethane-Induced Genes Define a Third C1 Utilization Pathway in Methylobacterium chloromethanicum CM4
TL;DR: In this article, the start sites were mapped by primer extension and allowed to define three transcriptional units, each likely comprising several genes, that were specifically expressed during growth of strain Methylobacterium chloromethanicum with chloromethane.

Chloromethane: tetrahydrofolate methyl transfer by two proteins from Methylobacterium chloromethanicum strain CM4.
TL;DR: In combination, CmuA and CmuB proteins catalyze the in vitro transfer of the methyl group of chloromethane to tetrahydrofolate, thus affording a direct link between chlorometrichane dehalogenation and core C1 metabolism of Methylobacterium.

TL;DR: Molecular analyses and some preliminary biochemical data indicated that the chloromethane utilization pathway in H. chloromethanicum is similar to the corrinoid-dependent methyl transfer system in M. chlorometrichanicum.
