Methane cycling microbes are important predictors of methylmercury accumulation in rice paddies [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyMicrobial production of methylmercury from inorganic mercury in rice paddies poses health risks to consumers of this essential dietary staple. Although mercury-methylating communities are well characterized, the microbial guilds contributing to ...

Methanogenic archaea in peatlands [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2020 ABSTRACT Methane emission feedbacks in wetlands are predicted to influence global climate under climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. Herein, we review the taxonomy and physiological ecology of the microorganisms responsible for methane production in peatlands.

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 ...

The evolving role of methanogenic archaea in mammalian microbiomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Methanogenic archaea (methanogens) represent a diverse group of microorganisms that inhabit various environmental and host-associated microbiomes. These organisms play an essential role in global carbon cycling given their ability to produce methane, a ...

Recent advances in constructed wetlands methane reduction: Mechanisms and methods
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Constructed wetlands (CWs) are artificial systems that use natural processes to treat wastewater containing organic pollutants. This approach has been widely applied in both developing and developed countries worldwide, providing a cost-effective method ...

Quantitative analysis of ruminal methanogenic microbial populations in beef cattle divergent in phenotypic residual feed intake (RFI) offered contrasting diets [PDF]
, 2014 peer-reviewedBackground Methane (CH4) emissions in cattle are an undesirable end product of rumen methanogenic fermentative activity as they are associated not only with negative environmental impacts but also with reduced host feed ...
