    Abstract: Provided herein is an alkane-metabolizing cell that is unable to convert propionyl-CoA into methylmalonyl-CoA or 2-metylcitrate synthase. Depending on which enzymes are present in the cell, the cell can produce acrylate or a precursor for the same (e.g., propionate, 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA, 3-hydroxypropionate, acrylyl-CoA) that can be readily converted to acrylate enzymatically (e.g., in the cell) or by chemical treatment. In one embodiment, the cell may contain a cytochrome P450 or alkane oxidase enzyme that allows the production of 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA, which can be readily converted to 3-hydroxypropionate. In order to make such compounds, the cell may be grown in the presence of an odd-numbered chain alkane (e.g., pentane or heptane), although another odd-numbered chain alkane may be used. In another embodiment, the cell may contain acyl-CoA oxidase, enoyl-CoA hydratase, and hydrolase.

    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.
