Metagenomic Evidence for a Methylocystis Species Capable of Bioremediation of Diverse Heavy Metals
Heavy metal pollution has become an increasingly serious problem worldwide. Co-contamination with toxic mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As) presents a particularly difficult bioremediation trouble.

Variation in methanotroph-related proxies in peat deposits from Misten Bog, Hautes-Fagnes, Belgium [PDF]
Methane emissions from peat bogs are strongly reduced by aerobic methane oxidising bacteria (methanotrophs) living in association with Sphagnum spp. Field studies and laboratory experiments have revealed that, with increasing water level and temperature,

Metabolic engineering in methanotrophic bacteria [PDF]
Methane, as natural gas or biogas, is the least expensive source of carbon for (bio)chemical synthesis. Scalable biological upgrading of this simple alkane to chemicals and fuels can bring new sustainable solutions to a number of industries with large environmental footprints, such as natural gas/petroleum production, landfills, wastewater treatment ...

Biotechnological conversion of methane to methanol: evaluation of progress and potential [PDF]
Sources of methane are numerous, and vary greatly in their use and sustainable credentials. A Jekyll and Hyde character, it is a valuable energy source present as geological deposits of natural gas, however it is also potent greenhouse gas, released ...

Methylocella Species Are Facultatively Methanotrophic [PDF]
ABSTRACT All aerobic methanotrophic bacteria described to date are unable to grow on substrates containing carbon-carbon bonds. Here we demonstrate that members of the recently discovered genus Methylocella are an exception to this.

Aquatic plant surface as a niche for methanotrophs
This study investigated the potential local CH4 sink in various plant parts as a boundary environment of CH4 emission and consumption. By comparing CH4 consumption activities in cultures inoculated with parts from 39 plant species, we observed ...

Hydrogen Oxidation Influences Glycogen Accumulation in a Verrucomicrobial Methanotroph
Metabolic flexibility in aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) enhances cell growth and survival in instances where resources are variable or limiting.

A four-helix bundle stores copper for methane oxidation [PDF]
Methane-oxidising bacteria (methanotrophs) require large quantities of copper for the membrane-bound (particulate) methane monooxygenase (pMMO). Certain methanotrophs are also able to switch to using the iron-containing soluble MMO (sMMO) to catalyse ...

Stress resistance and C1 metabolism involved in plant colonization of a methanotroph Methylosinus sp. B4S. [PDF]
Methanotrophs are widespread and have been isolated from various environments including the phyllosphere. In this study, we characterized the plant colonization by Methylosinus sp. B4S, an α-proteobacterial methanotroph isolated from plant leaf.
