Leveraging genome-scale metabolic models to understand aerobic methanotrophs. [PDF]
Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are valuable tools serving systems biology and metabolic engineering. However, GEMs are still an underestimated tool in informing microbial ecology.

Draft genomes of three aerobic methanotrophs from a temperate eutrophic fishpond. [PDF]
Here we introduce draft genomes of three methanotrophs belonging to the Methylococcaceae, a family of typically fast-growing methane oxidizers. Methylobacter sp. Wu1, Methylomicrobium sp. Wu6, and Methylobacter sp. Wu8 were cultured from the top sediment

Metabolic flexibility of aerobic methanotrophs under anoxic conditions in Arctic lake sediments. [PDF]
Abstract Methane (CH4) emissions from Arctic lakes are a large and growing source of greenhouse gas to the atmosphere with critical implications for global climate. Because Arctic lakes are ice covered for much of the year, understanding the metabolic flexibility of methanotrophs under anoxic conditions would aid in characterizing the ...

Ammonia oxidation by aerobic methanotrophs as a source of marine nitrous oxide. [PDF]
Aerobic methanotrophs encode a hydroxylamine oxidoreductase, which facilitates the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite or nitric oxide, potentially leading to nitrous oxide production. Aerobic methane oxidation has been documented in shallow marine waters or

: Large amounts of gas hydrate are distributed in the northern slope of the South China Sea, which is a potential threat of methane leakage. Aerobic methane oxidation by methanotrophs, significant methane biotransformation that occurs in sediment surface

Community Structure and Function of Aerobic Methanotrophs in Urban River Sediments: A Case Study of the Jialing River. [PDF]
Rivers are hotspots of global methane emission and oxidation, yet research on aerobic methanotrophy in urban river sediments remains limited. Here, we collected sediments of the Jialing River and its tributary (Xixi River) from the urban area of Nanchong

Biotic interactions between benthic infauna and aerobic methanotrophs mediate methane fluxes from coastal sediments. [PDF]
Coastal ecosystems dominate oceanic methane (CH4) emissions. However, there is limited knowledge about how biotic interactions between infauna and aerobic methanotrophs (i.e. CH4 oxidizing bacteria) drive the spatial–temporal dynamics of these emissions.

Methane Oxidation Potential and Niche Differentiation of Aerobic Methanotrophs in Coastal Mangrove Forest Soils along a 370 Km Long Coastline in Taiwan. [PDF]
Mangrove forests are key blue carbon ecosystems, but their net sink potential depends on methane oxidation in soils. In this study, DNA-based stable isotope probing was employed to decipher the changes of potentially active methanotrophic communities ...

Direct Methane Removal from Air by Aerobic Methanotrophs.
The rapid pace of climate change has created great urgency for short-term mitigation strategies. Appropriately, the long-term target for intervening in global warming is CO2, but experts suggest that methane should be a key short-term target. Methane has

Methanotrophy under versatile conditions in the water column of the ferruginous meromictic Lake La Cruz (Spain) [PDF]
Lakes represent a considerable natural source of methane to the atmosphere compared to their small global surface area. Methanotrophs in sediments and in the water column largely control methane fluxes from these systems, yet the diversity, electron ...
