Manipulation of Methanotrophs

1984
Methanotrophs have interesting properties concerning the oxidation and dehalogenation of both straight-chain and aromatic hydrocarbons. However, the potential of these bacteria in the degradation of these compounds cannot be assessed until more experiments are carried out.

Methanotrophs and Methanogens in Masonry

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT Methanotrophs were present in 48 of 225 stone samples which were removed from 19 historical buildings in Germany and Italy. The average cell number of methanotrophs was 20 CFU per g of stone, and their activities ranged between 11 and 42 pmol of CH 4 g of stone −1 day

Methanotrophs in moss

Nature Geoscience, 2010
Peat bogs release large quantities of methane to the atmosphere. A global survey of peat mosses reveals a ubiquitous symbiotic relationship with methane-oxidizing bacteria.

Methanotrophic symbioses in marine invertebrates

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2009
Summary Symbioses between marine animals and aerobic methane‐oxidizing bacteria are found at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps in the deep sea where reduced, methane‐rich fluids mix with the surrounding oxidized seawater.

Generation of Products by Methanotrophs

1982
It has been recognized for many years that obligate methanotrophs, although requiring C1 compounds for growth, are nevertheless capable of effecting the partial oxidation of several simple methane analogues (short chain alkanes and alkenes) to products which accumulate extracellularly (64).

Surface layers of methanotrophic bacteria

Microbiology, 2013
Structural and functional characteristics of the regular glycoprotein layers in prokaryotes are analyzed with a special emphasis on aerobic methanotrophic bacteria. S-layers are present at the surfaces of Methylococcus, Methylothermus, and Methylomicrobium cells.

Biology of extremophilic and extremotolerant methanotrophs

Archives of Microbiology, 2001
This review summarizes recent findings on the biology of obligate methanotrophic bacteria living in various extreme environments. By using molecular ecology techniques, it has become clear that obligate methanotrophs are ubiquitous in nature and well adapted to high or low temperature, pH and salinity.

Detection of Methanotrophs in Groundwater by PCR

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1999
ABSTRACT Methanotrophic bacteria have significant potential for bioremediation, which would require methods for monitoring the presence and activity of these organisms in environmental samples. In this study, PCR was used to detect methanotrophic bacteria.

Biogeography of wetland rice methanotrophs

Environmental Microbiology, 2010
Summary We focused on the functional guild of methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB) as model organisms to get deeper insights into microbial biogeography. The pmoA gene was used as a functional and phylogenetic marker for MOB in two approaches: (i) a pmoA
