Thermophilic methane oxidation is widespread in Aotearoa-New Zealand geothermal fields. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2023 Geothermal areas represent substantial point sources for greenhouse gas emissions such as methane. While it is known that methanotrophic microorganisms act as a biofilter, decreasing the efflux of methane in most soils to the atmosphere, the diversity ...

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF METHANOTROPHIC BACTERIA FROM RICE FIELDS [PDF]
Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2009 Methane is a greenhouse gas capable of depleting the ozone layer. Rice fields are significant sources of atmospheric methane. The application of chemical fertilizer in rice fields increases the methane emission.

Selenium-Induced Enhancement in Growth and Rhizosphere Soil Methane Oxidation of Prickly Pear. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)As an essential element for plants, animals, and humans, selenium (Se) has been shown to participate in microbial methane oxidation. We studied the growth response and rhizosphere methane oxidation of an economic crop (prickly pear, Rosa roxburghii Tratt)

Lake mixing regime selects apparent methane oxidation kinetics of the methanotroph assemblage [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 In lakes, large amounts of methane are produced in anoxic sediments. Methane-oxidizing bacteria effectively convert this potent greenhouse gas into biomass and carbon dioxide.

Light-Dependent Aerobic Methane Oxidation Reduces Methane Emissions from Seasonally Stratified Lakes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Lakes are a natural source of methane to the atmosphere and contribute significantly to total emissions compared to the oceans. Controls on methane emissions from lake surfaces, particularly biotic processes within anoxic hypolimnia, are only partially ...

Observation of induction period and oxygenated intermediates in methane oxidation over Pt catalyst
iScience, 2023 Summary: Selective oxidation of methane is one of the most attractive routes for methane to chemicals. However, mechanistic understanding and avoiding over-oxidation have great challenges because of its very rapid reaction rate. Herein, a capillary micro-
