Abstract
The expression of the two gene clusters encoding the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) in Methylococcus capsulatusBath was assessed by analysis of transcripts and by use of chromosomal gene fusions. The results suggest that the two clusters are functionally redundant but that relative expression alters depending on the copper levels available for growth.Keywords
