Trace metal requirements for microbial enzymes involved in the production and consumption of methane and nitrous oxide [PDF]
, 2012 Fluxes of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere are heavily influenced by microbiological activity. Microbial enzymes involved in the production and consumption of greenhouse gases often contain metal cofactors.

Comparative Analysis of Root Microbiomes of Rice Cultivars with High and Low Methane Emissions Reveals Differences in Abundance of Methanogenic Archaea and Putative Upstream Fermenters. [PDF]
, 2020 Rice cultivation worldwide accounts for ∼7 to 17% of global methane emissions. Methane cycling in rice paddies is a microbial process not only involving methane producers (methanogens) and methane metabolizers (methanotrophs) but also other microbial ...

Simultaneous sulfide and methane oxidation by an extremophile
Nature Communications, 2023 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methane (CH4) are produced in anoxic environments through sulfate reduction and organic matter decomposition. Both gases diffuse upwards into oxic zones where aerobic methanotrophs mitigate CH4 emissions by oxidizing this ...

The pH-based ecological coherence of active canonical methanotrophs in paddy soils [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Soil pH is considered one of the main determinants of the assembly of globally distributed microorganisms that catalyze the biogeochemical cycles of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N).

Biotechnological aspects of sulfate reduction with methane as electron donor [PDF]
, 2010 Biological sulfate reduction can be used for the removal and recovery of oxidized sulfur compounds and metals from waste streams. However, the costs of conventional electron donors, like hydrogen and ethanol, limit the application possibilities.

Active Methanotrophs in Suboxic Alpine Swamp Soils of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Methanotrophs are the only biofilters for reducing the flux of global methane (CH4) emissions in water-logged wetlands. However, adaptation of aerobic methanotrophs to low concentrations of oxygen and nitrogen in typical swamps, such as that of the ...

Cultivation of Important Methanotrophs From Indian Rice Fields
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Methanotrophs are aerobic to micro-aerophilic bacteria, which oxidize and utilize methane, the second most important greenhouse gas. The community structure of the methanotrophs in rice fields worldwide has been studied mainly using culture-independent ...

The bacteriohopanepolyol inventory of novel aerobic methane oxidising bacteria reveals new biomarker signatures of aerobic methanotrophy in marine systems [PDF]
, 2016 Aerobic methane oxidation (AMO) is one of the primary biologic pathways regulating the amount of methane (CH4) released into the environment. AMO acts as a sink of CH4, converting it into carbon dioxide before it reaches the atmosphere. It is of interest

Draft genome sequence of Methyloferula stellata AR4, an obligate methanotroph possessing only a soluble methane monooxygenase [PDF]
, 2015 Methyloferula stellata AR4 is an aerobic acidophilic methanotroph, which, in contrast to most known methanotrophs but similar to Methylocella spp., possesses only a soluble methane monooxygenase. However, it differs from Methylocella spp.
