Capturing methane with recombinant soluble methane monooxygenase and recombinant methyl‐coenzyme M reductase

Microbial Biotechnology
Methane capture via oxidation is considered one of the ‘Holy Grails’ of catalysis (Tucci and Rosenzweig, 2024). Methane is also a primary greenhouse gas that has to be reduced by 1.2 billion metric tonnes in 10 years to decrease global warming by only 0 ...

Stripping‐based approach for the recovery of volatile fatty acids from anaerobic digestion digestate: preliminary experimental investigations and modelling

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are widely used across industries: as intermediates in chemical production (e.g., solvents and polymers), in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and as preservatives and health‐promoting additives in food and animal feed. Emerging applications also include bioplastics, bioenergy, and biotechnology.

Anaerobic methanotrophic communities thrive in deep submarine permafrost

Scientific Reports, 2018
Thawing submarine permafrost is a source of methane to the subsurface biosphere. Methane oxidation in submarine permafrost sediments has been proposed, but the responsible microorganisms remain uncharacterized.

Biochar and Hydrochar as Soil‐Based Carbon Sequestration Technologies: Implications for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar and hydrochar have emerged as promising carbon‐based amendments for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This review synthesizes and critically compares current knowledge on the production technologies, physicochemical properties, stabilization mechanisms, carbon persistence, and life‐cycle ...

Vertical distribution of methanotrophic archaea in an iron-rich groundwater discharge zone.

PLoS ONE
Anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to iron reduction (Fe-AOM) is a crucial process for methane removal in terrestrial environments. However, the occurrence of Fe-AOM in natural environments is rare, and the mechanisms behind the direct coupling of ...

Deep Sediment-Sourced Methane Contribution to Shallow Sediment Organic Carbon: Atwater Valley, Texas-Louisiana Shelf, Gulf of Mexico

Energies, 2015
Coastal methane hydrate deposits are globally abundant. There is a need to understand the deep sediment sourced methane energy contribution to shallow sediment carbon relative to terrestrial sources and phytoplankton.

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

A metagenomics-based metabolic model of nitrate-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane by Methanoperedens-like archaea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Methane oxidation is an important process to mitigate the emission of the greenhouse gas methane and further exacerbating of climate forcing. Both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms have been reported to catalyze methane oxidation with only a few ...

Effects of Fertilization and Wheat Straw Management on Rice Yield and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Paddy Fields

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution caused by excessive nitrogen fertilization has become increasingly serious, making optimized fertilization and straw management critical for improving agricultural sustainability. This study involved a two‐year field trial with three fertilization strategies: conventional fertilization (CF), 23.50% nitrogen reduction ...

Mixed Litter Decomposition Drives Functional Gene Rearrangement in the Microbial Carbon Cycle

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how mixed‐species litter decomposition regulates microbial communities and carbon cycling is vital for guiding ecosystem restoration and climate change mitigation, as it is a key process for nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. A 15‐month field experiment compared single‐species (Pinus sylvestris var.
