Exploring the Potential of Methanotrophs for Plant Growth Promotion in Rice Agriculture
Methane, 2023 Rice fields are one of the important anthropogenic sources of methane emissions. Methanotrophs dwelling near the rice roots and at the oxic–anoxic interface of paddy fields can oxidize a large fraction of the generated methane and are therefore ...

Pushing the upper temperature limit of methanotrophy in continental hydrothermal ecosystems, active biological methane oxidation in hot springs of Yellowstone National Park [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyMethane oxidation in terrestrial geothermal systems is an understudied process contributing to carbon cycling in extreme environments. We combined geochemical analyses, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenome sequencing, and 14CH4 microcosm

Carbon monoxide metabolism in freshwater anaerobic methanotrophic archaea [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAnaerobic methanotrophic archaea mitigate methane emissions in anoxic environments as key members of the biological methane filter. Despite their ecological significance, physiology of anaerobic methanotrophs remains poorly understood.

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

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 ...

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.
