Microbial aerobic oxidation of methane in paddy soil

Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 2002
The microbial aerobic oxidation activity of methane, the population of aerobic methane oxidizers and the factors influencing the activity of methane oxidation were investigated in three types of paddy rice soil in Zhejiang Province, China. Methane oxidation activity was different among Huangsong paddy soil developed from fluvo-aquic soil, Old ...

Potential for Aerobic Methane Oxidation in Carboniferous Coal Measures

Geomicrobiology Journal, 2014
Carbon (C), geologically sequestered in coal, is gradually released to the atmosphere as CH4 and CO2. Recent anthropogenic activity (coal mining) has rapidly increased the rate of C reallocation from coal deposits into the atmosphere, which has deleterious effect on the climate as both gases are effective infrared absorbers.

Community‐Level Analysis: Key Genes of Aerobic Methane Oxidation

2005
Aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) are a diverse group of bacteria that are currently represented by 13 recognized genera. They play a major role in the global methane cycle and are widespread in nature with representatives found in soils, freshwater, seawater, freshwater and marine sediments, peat bogs and at extremes of temperature ...

Toxic effects of lab-grade butyl rubber stoppers on aerobic methane oxidationToxic effects of aerobic methane oxidation

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, 2015
Methods for measuring aerobic methane oxidation (MOx) rates in aquatic environments are often based on the incubation of water samples during which the consumption of methane (CH4) is monitored. Typi cally incubation vessels are sealed with butyl rubber because these elastomers are essentially impermeable for gases. We report on the potential toxicity

Anaerobic oxidation of methane by aerobic methanotrophs in sub-Arctic lake sediments

Science of The Total Environment, 2017
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a biological process that plays an important role in reducing the CH4 emissions from a wide range of ecosystems. Arctic and sub-Arctic lakes are recognized as significant contributors to global methane (CH4) emission, since CH4 production is increasing as permafrost thaws and provides fuels for methanogenesis ...

Nitrogen removal by co-occurring methane oxidation, denitrification, aerobic ammonium oxidation, and anammox

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2009
The pathway for removing NO(3)(-) and NH(4)(+) from wastewater in the presence of both CH(4) and O(2) was clarified by studying microbial activity and community. Batch incubation tests were performed to characterize the microbial activity of the sludge, which was acclimatized in a bioreactor in which O(2) and CH(4) were supplied to treat wastewater ...

Environmental determinants of aerobic methane oxidation in a tropical river network

Water Research
Aerobic methane oxidation (MOX) significantly reduces methane (CH4) emissions from inland water bodies and is, therefore, an important determinant of global CH4 budget. Yet, the magnitude and controls of MOX rates in rivers - a quantitatively significant natural source of atmospheric CH4 - are poorly constrained.

Methane-oxidizing archaea, aerobic methanotrophs and nitrifiers coexist with methane as the sole carbon source

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2019
Abstract Methane oxidation plays a key role in carbon and nutrient cycling and has the potential to be applied in engineered bioprocesses, including wastewater and gas treatments. To provide insights into the dynamics of the methanotrophic community under microoxic and anoxic conditions, two sequencing batch reactors under microoxic (MO2-SBR) and ...
