How methanotrophs respond to pH: A review of ecophysiology
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Varying pH globally affects terrestrial microbial communities and biochemical cycles. Methanotrophs effectively mitigate methane fluxes in terrestrial habitats. Many methanotrophs grow optimally at neutral pH.

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.

Expansion of aerobic methanotrophy to the phylum of Actinomycetota and its environmental implications [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyFor over a century, taxonomically validated pure cultures of aerobic methanotrophs belonged to Pseudomonadota, or since 2007, Verrucomicrobiota. A recent article published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology by H. Kambara, T.

Diverse bacteriohemerythrin genes of Methylomonas denitrificans FJG1 provide insight into the survival and activity of methanotrophs in low oxygen ecosystems [PDF]
mBioProteobacterial methanotrophs are dependent on the oxidation of methane for ATP production and assimilation of carbon into biomass. Interestingly, some types of gammaproteobacterial methanotrophs thrive in oxygen-depleted zones of lakes and other aquatic

Novel facultative Methylocella strains are active methane consumers at terrestrial natural gas seeps [PDF]
Microbiome, 2019 Background Natural gas seeps contribute to global climate change by releasing substantial amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane and other climate-active gases including ethane and propane to the atmosphere. However, methanotrophs, bacteria capable

Variations in the N2 Fixation and CH4 Oxidation Activities of Type I Methanotrophs in the Rice Roots in Saline-Alkali Paddy Field Under Nitrogen Fertilization [PDF]
RiceThe root-associated methanotrophs contribute to N2 fixation and CH4 oxidation in paddy fields under N-limited conditions. However, the impact of nitrogen inputs on N₂ fixation and CH₄ oxidation by methanotrophs is largely unknown, especially in saline ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Boreal lakes and ponds produce two-thirds of the total natural methane emissions above the latitude of 50° North. These lake emissions are regulated by methanotrophs which can oxidize up to 99% of the methane produced in the sediments and the water ...
