Active Methanotrophs and Their Response to Temperature in Marine Environments: An Experimental Study
Aerobic methane (CH4) oxidation plays a significant role in marine CH4 consumption. Temperature changes resulting from, for example, global warming, have been suggested to be able to influence methanotrophic communities and their CH4 oxidation capacity ...

The large natural gas storage facility at Stenlille, Denmark, has been monitored to investigate the effect of pumping large amounts of gas into the subsurface. Here, we present a new dataset of microseismicity at Stenlille since 2018.

Alpha- and Gammaproteobacterial Methanotrophs Codominate the Active Methane-Oxidizing Communities in an Acidic Boreal Peat Bog [PDF]
The objective of this study was to characterize metabolically active, aerobic methanotrophs in an ombrotrophic peatland in the Marcell Experimental Forest, Minnesota, USA.

In situ benthic fluxes from an intermittently active mud volcano at the Costa Rica convergent margin [PDF]
Along the erosive convergent margin off Costa Rica a large number of mound-shaped structures exist built by mud diapirism or mud volcanism. One of these, Mound 12, an intermittently active mud volcano, currently emits large amounts of aqueous dissolved ...

Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy conservation is exclusively attributed to the archaeal domain.

Planktonic and sediment-associated aerobic methanotrophs in two seep systems along the North American margin [PDF]
Methane vents are of significant geochemical and ecological importance. Notable progress has been made towards understanding anaerobic methane oxidation in marine sediments, however, the diversity and distribution of aerobic methanotrophs in the water ...

No evidence of light inhibition on aerobic methanotrophs in coastal sediments using eDNA and eRNA
It is estimated that up to half of global methane (CH4) emissions are derived from microbial processes in aquatic ecosystems. However, it is not fully understood which factors explain the spatial and temporal variability of these emissions.

Identification of Novel Methane-, Ethane-, and Propane-Oxidizing Bacteria at Marine Hydrocarbon Seeps by Stable Isotope Probing [PDF]
Marine hydrocarbon seeps supply oil and gas to microorganisms in sediments and overlying water. We used stable isotope probing (SIP) to identify aerobic bacteria oxidizing gaseous hydrocarbons in surface sediment from the Coal Oil Point seep field ...

A metagenomic study of methanotrophic microorganisms in Coal Oil Point seep sediments
Background Methane oxidizing prokaryotes in marine sediments are believed to function as a methane filter reducing the oceanic contribution to the global methane emission.

A temperate river estuary is a sink for methanotrophs adapted to extremes of pH, temperature and salinity [PDF]
River Tyne (UK) estuarine sediments harbour a genetically and functionally diverse community of methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs), the composition and activity of which were directly influenced by imposed environmental conditions (pH, salinity ...
