Abstract

The instant disclosure is in the field of biosciences, more particularly towards molecular and industrial biotechnology. The present disclosure relates to recombinant methanotrophic bacteria capable of synthesizing indigo from methane comprising a gene encoding enzyme for increasing concentration of indole and a gene encoding enzyme for converting the indole to indoxyl. The present disclosure also relates to a method of developing the recombinant methanotrophic bacteria, and a method of indigo biosynthesis by the recombinant methanotrophic bacteria in presence of a methane source.
