First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-naturally occurring nucleic acid molecule, comprising:
- (1) a promoter that is functional in a methanotrophic bacterium, and(2) an altered methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) or a native MDH ribosomal binding sequence, wherein the altered MDH ribosomal binding sequence comprises the polynucleotide sequence as set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOS.;
20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 32, and 41;
provided that when the promoter is an MDH gene promoter, the nucleic acid comprises an altered MDH ribosomal binding sequence.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides nucleic acids and vectors for use with methanotrophic bacteria. Related host cells and methods for using such nucleic acids and vectors for expressing polypeptides or other genetic manipulation of methanotrophic bacteria are also provided. In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a non-naturally occurring nucleic acid molecule, comprising (1) a promoter that is functional in a methanotrophic bacterium, and (2) a native or altered methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) ribosomal binding sequence, provided that when the promoter is an MDH gene promoter, the nucleic acid comprises an altered MDH ribosomal binding sequence.
