Abstract

Microbial platforms are currently being optimized to revolutionize industrial energy production while mitigating shortages of global resources and food supplies. Here, we address recent advances to develop bacterial methylotrophic platforms as promising platforms enabling the reuse of products and materials (at their highest value) while reducing waste and pollution.
