Occurrence and expression of genes encoding methyl-compound production in rumen bacteria

Abstract Background Digestive processes in the rumen lead to the release of methyl-compounds, mainly methanol and methylamines, which are used by methyltrophic methanogens to form methane, an important agricultural greenhouse gas. Methylamines are produced from plant phosphatidylcholine degradation,...
