In this study, modeling is used to describe how oxygen and nitrogen source affect the stoichiometry and kinetics of growth and PHB production in the Type II methanotrophs Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b and Methylocystis parvus OBBP. Significant differences were observed, with major implications for the use of these species in biotechnology applications. Such analyses can better inform bioreactor design, scale-up models, and life cycle assessments (LCAs).
