C30 - Amines to Atmosphere: Enzymatic Drivers of Methane Production

Methanogenesis contributes to greenhouse gas production.

2026 Poster Session C

C30 - Amines to Atmosphere: Enzymatic Drivers of Methane Production

Mentor: D.J. Fergusen, Ph.D.

Methanogenesis contributes to greenhouse gas production. Methane production can occur through degradation of compounds such as acetate, methanol, & methlyamines Proteomic studies of Methanococcoides methylutens Q3c showed upregulation of proteins MttB and MttC. Understand the enzymatic pathway of dimethylethanolamine (DMEA) degradation.
