The Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas sp. OX1, previously known as Pseudomonas stutzeri OX1, is endowed with a high metabolic versatility.
Because of their metabolic versatility, geobacilli can be used as whole-cell catalysts in processes such as bioconversion and bioremediation.
Due to its high growth rate, metabolic versatility and genetic stability H. mediterranei has become an interesting microorganism for investigating PHA production.
Perhaps high growth rate, metabolic versatility and genetic stability of H. mediterranei allowed complete utilization of 25%and50%0% of pre-treated vinasse.
Filamentous fungi have been extensively used in biotechnological processes as cell factories due to the metabolic versatility of this group of microorganisms.
It has a second, divergent copy of the AmoB subunit of ammonia monooxygenase, which suggests additional catalytic function and greater metabolic versatility.
Interestingly, all transformants with the adh gene converted acetoin (a minor fermentation product) into 2,3-butanediol, highlighting the wide metabolic versatility of solvent-producing Clostridia.
Microorganisms play an essential role in remediation of most organic contaminants in soil and water resources due to their metabolic versatility and their capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions (Meckenstock et al. 2015).
The prestige of microorganisms is due to their high metabolic versatility, which allows the inference about its potential for biotechnological applications, including enzyme production for industrial and environmental uses.
However, the metabolic versatility and cosmopolitan behavior of Streptomyces species have enabled them to be isolated from different environments, some of which have not yet been explored, hence, presenting an opportunity to discover new bioactive compounds.
Fungi have evolved a high degree of metabolic versatility that allows them to use a diverse range of organic substrates for growth, including simple compounds such as nitrate, ammonia, acetate, or ethanol.
