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 ...

Physiology and Biochemistry of the Aerobic Methanotrophs
Methanotrophs are a widely distributed group of aerobic bacteria that use methane as their source of carbon and energy. They play key roles in the global carbon cycle, including controlling anthropogenic and natural emissions of the greenhouse gas ...

Small oxygen-stratified humic lakes of the boreal zone are important sources of methane to the atmosphere. Although stable isotope profiling has indicated that a substantial part of methane is already oxidized in the anaerobic water layers in these lakes,

Mangrove forests are one of the important ecosystems in tropical coasts because of their high primary production, which they sustain by sequestering a substantial amount of CO2 into plant biomass.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and its concentration has continued to increase in recent decades. Aerobic methanotrophs, bacteria that use methane as the sole carbon source, are an important biological sink for methane, and they ...

Radial oxygen loss, rhizospheric methane oxidation and methane emissions from rice roots
Longitudinal variation in rice (Oryza sativa) root traits affecting the bidirectional diffusion of O2 and CH4. Summary Methane (CH4) produced in flooded paddy soils is emitted by passive diffusion, by ebullition and by diffusion through the rice (Oryza sativa) plant.

Metabolic Features of Aerobic Methanotrophs: News and Views
This review is focused on recent studies of carbon metabolism in aerobic methanotrophs that specifically addressed the properties, distribution and phylogeny of some of the key enzymes involved in assimilation of carbon from methane.

First isolation of a methanotrophic Mycobacterium reveals ammonia- and pH-tolerant methane oxidation
Methanotrophs facilitate a key step in the global carbon cycle—oxidation of natural and anthropogenic methane—and comprehension of their physiology is critical in unraveling the ecology revolving around microbial methane sinks.

Methanotrophs and methane oxidation in cold wetlands: distribution, ecology, and mechanisms. [PDF]
Wetlands in cold regions are significant natural sources of methane. Methane-oxidizing microbes (methanotrophs) serve as key players in mitigating methane in these ecosystems.

Using 14,643 chamber observations from 285 peatland sites, we found that wetter conditions were associated with higher CH4 emissions but lower ecosystem respiration and combined CO2‐equivalent emissions. Apparent CH4 temperature sensitivity also increased with water‐table level, suggesting that fixed Q10 values may misrepresent warming responses ...
