Microorganisms, 2018 Methanotrophs are a specialized group of bacteria that can utilize methane (CH4) as a sole energy source. A key enzyme responsible for methane oxidation is methane monooxygenase (MMO), of either a soluble, cytoplasmic type (sMMO), or a particulate ...

Diversity and Composition of Methanotroph Communities in Caves [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Methane oxidizing microorganisms (methanotrophs) are ubiquitous in the environment and represent a major sink for the greenhouse gas methane (CH4).

Oxygen competition induces chlorosis in thermoacidophilic methanotroph–microalgae cocultures [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and BioproductsMethanotroph–microalgae cocultures offer a promising bioprocess platform for methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) valorisation and have been proposed for sustainable single-cell protein (SCP) production. In coculture, the thermoacidophilic methanotroph

DSOF: A Rapid Method to Determine the Abundance of Microalgae and Methanotrophic Bacteria in Coculture Using a Combination of Differential Sedimentation, Optical Density, and Fluorescence [PDF]
BioengineeringCocultivation of microalgae and aerobic methanotrophs represents an emerging biotechnology platform to produce high-protein biomass, yet quantifying individual species in mixed cultures remains challenging.

First isolation of a methanotrophic Mycobacterium reveals ammonia- and pH-tolerant methane oxidation [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyMethanotrophs 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 copper [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2010 Methanotrophs, cells that consume methane (CH(4)) as their sole source of carbon and energy, play key roles in the global carbon cycle, including controlling anthropogenic and natural emissions of CH(4), the second-most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide.
