Summary Forest health is critical for sustaining ecosystem services like carbon sequestration. Heart rot, a widespread disease in upland northern hardwood forests, may affect greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) fluxes, but its impacts remain poorly measured. Using non‐destructive tomography and direct gas flux measurements, we quantified the effects of heart ...

Aerobic H2respiration enhances metabolic flexibility of methanotrophic bacteria [PDF]
AbstractMethanotrophic bacteria are important soil biofilters for the climate-active gas methane. The prevailing opinion is that these bacteria exclusively metabolise single-carbon, and in limited instances, short-chain hydrocarbons for growth. This specialist lifestyle juxtaposes metabolic flexibility, a key strategy for environmental adaptation of ...

ABSTRACT Forestry drained peatlands are currently a large source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and expected to lose carbon (C) storage in long‐term. The GHG emissions and soil C stock are affected by management practices. In rotation forestry, soils are prepared with machine for regeneration after clearcutting.

Complete Genome Sequence of Methylomonas koyamae LM6, a Potential Aerobic Methanotroph
Methylomonas koyamae LM6 is a potential methanotrophic bacterium of interest for methane bioconversion. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of M. koyamae LM6, which contains 4,337 predicted open reading frames on one chromosome (4,894,002 bp) and one plasmid (186,658 bp), with genes involved in ...

Complete Genome Sequence of the Aerobic Facultative Methanotroph Methylocella silvestris BL2 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Methylocella silvestris BL2 is an aerobic methanotroph originally isolated from an acidic forest soil in Germany. It is the first fully authenticated facultative methanotroph. It grows not only on methane and other one-carbon (C 1 ) substrates, but also on some compounds containing ...

Enzymes of an alternative pathway of glucose metabolism in obligate methanotrophs
Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria utilize methane as a growth substrate but are unable to grow on any sugars. In this study we have shown that two obligate methanotrophs, Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z and Methylobacter luteus IMV-B-3098, possess ...

Soil domestication by rice cultivation results in plant-soil feedback through shifts in soil microbiota. [PDF]
BackgroundSoils are a key component of agricultural productivity, and soil microbiota determine the availability of many essential plant nutrients.

Abstract While wetlands represent a small fraction (~5%–10%) of the world's land surface, it is estimated that one‐third of wetlands have been lost due to human activities. Wetland habitat loss decreases ecosystem benefits, including improved water quality and climate change mitigation.

Microbial impact on the isotope composition of methane in both thermal and hyperalkaline waters of central Greece [PDF]
Introduction The different origins of methane can be subdivided in biogenic (either directly produced by microbial activity or deriving by decay of organic matter at T > 150\ub0C) and abiogenic (from pure inorganic reactions). Among the latter, one of

Activity of type I methanotrophs dominates under high methane concentration: methanotrophic activity in slurry surface crusts as influenced by methane, oxygen, and inorganic nitrogen [PDF]
Livestock slurry is a major source of atmospheric methane (CH4), but surface crusts harboring methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) could mediate against CH4 emissions.
