Biological conversion of propane to 2-propanol using group I and II methanotrophs as biocatalysts.
Article in Journal of industrial microbiology & biotechnology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Propane is the main component of liquefied petroleum gas and is derived from crude oil processing. Methanotrophic bacteria can convert various alkanes using methane monooxygenase enzyme to primary alcohols. These are further oxidized to various aldehydes by alcohol dehydrogenases or methanol dehydrogenases. In this study, 2-propanol was produced from propane using the whole cells of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z, and Methylomonas sp. DH-1 as the biocatalysts. The biocatalytic process of converting propane to 2-propanol was optimized by the use of several inhibitors and additives, such as EDTA, sodium phosphate, and sodium formate to prevent oxidation of 2-propanol to acetone and to enhance conversion of propane to propanol. The maximum titer of 2-propanol was 0.424 g/L, 0.311 g/L, and 0.610 g/L for Methylomonas sp. DH-1, M. alcaliphilum 20Z, and M. trichosporium OB3b whole cells, respectively. These results showed that type I and type II methanotrophs could be used as the potent biocatalyst for conversion of propane to propanol.
