The natural fermentation of methanol is a misnomer; methanol (CH₃OH, CAS 67-56-1) is industrially synthesized via catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide, not biological fermentation. It serves as a fundamental C1 building block in the chemical sector.
Methanol is highly toxic if ingested or absorbed through skin; strict PPE is mandatory. Store in cool, ventilated areas away from oxidizers due to high flammability. Not intended for direct clinical use without rigorous purification.
