Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Methane (CH4) is a sustainable carbon feedstock for value-added chemical production in aerobic CH4-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). Under substrate-limited (e.g., oxygen and nitrogen) conditions, CH4 oxidation results in the production of various ...

Planktonic and sediment-associated aerobic methanotrophs in two seep systems along the North American margin [PDF]
, 2008 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 ...

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 ...

A temperate river estuary is a sink for methanotrophs adapted to extremes of pH, temperature and salinity [PDF]
, 2016 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 ...

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 ...

Identification of Novel Methane-, Ethane-, and Propane-Oxidizing Bacteria at Marine Hydrocarbon Seeps by Stable Isotope Probing [PDF]
, 2010 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 ...

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 ...
