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.

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

Methylocella: a gourmand among methanotrophs

Trends in Microbiology, 2014
A recent article in Nature describes the ability of Methylocella silvestris to grow simultaneously on methane and longer chain alkanes, something never before observed in the microbial world. It adds to a growing list of unique metabolic traits that distinguish Methylocella from any other bacterium.

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.

The impact of burning and Calluna removal on below-ground methanotroph diversity and activity in a peatland soil

Applied Soil Ecology, 2008
Methanotroph community structure and activity was investigated in a peat soil in which the above-ground vegetation was burned repeatedly during the last 50 years, and in soil unburned since 1954.

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.

Resilience of (seed bank) aerobic methanotrophs and methanotrophic activity to desiccation and heat stress

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2016
In seasonally changing environments, aerobic methanotrophs are exposed to elevated temperatures and drought. Prior exposure to adverse conditions (site history) may leave an imprint on the methanotrophic community composition in the form of a seed bank.
