Understanding methanotroph ecology in a biofilter for efficiently mitigating methane emissions : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Soil Science (Biotechnology) at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
In New Zealand, the majority of the greenhouse gas (GHG), methane (CH4) emissions are from the agriculture sector (enteric fermentation, manure management) and the remainder from solid waste disposal, coal mining and natural gas leaks.

Increased CH4 Oxidation in Arctic Tundra Ecosystems Caused by Vegetation‐Mediated Soil Drying

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
In a warmer Arctic, vegetation changes can play a critical role in methane dynamics. Our results indicate that taller vegetation, shifts in species composition, and warmer air temperatures enhance soil aeration by increasing evapotranspiration, thereby promoting methane oxidation in surface soils.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Facultative methanotrophs are abundant at terrestrial natural gas seeps [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Natural gas contains methane and the gaseous alkanes ethane, propane and butane, which collectively influence atmospheric chemistry and cause global warming.

Spruce Budworm Defoliation Influences Greenhouse Gas Concentrations in Streams

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract One of the most significant natural disturbances in the Canadian boreal and hemiboreal forest is tree defoliation by eastern spruce budworm (SBW), which may increase nutrient and carbon inputs to catchment soils, and in runoff. Closely connected to catchments, headwater streams are known to be significant emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs ...

Soil domestication by rice cultivation results in plant-soil feedback through shifts in soil microbiota. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundSoils are a key component of agricultural productivity, and soil microbiota determine the availability of many essential plant nutrients.

Airborne Bacterial Communities: Diversity, Survival Strategies and Functional Roles in the Atmosphere

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This mini‐review synthesises evidence on the taxonomic patterns of airborne microorganisms and the selective pressures they face. We highlight key conserved physiological traits, such as DNA repair and desiccation tolerance, which enable stress‐tolerant members to survive and suggest their potential for activity within the atmospheric environment ...

Diversity and habitat preferences of cultivated and uncultivated aerobic methanotrophic bacteria evaluated based on pmoA as molecular marker

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Methane-oxidizing bacteria are characterized by their capability to grow on methane as sole source of carbon and energy. Cultivation-dependent and –independent methods have revealed that this functional guild of bacteria comprises a substantial diversity

Rooted macrophytes reduce sediment CH4 storage and net production: An experimental approach using a novel scanning method

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Methane (CH4) emissions from freshwater ecosystems are significant but rarely quantified in vegetated zones. We assessed the influence of five macrophyte species that root in the sediment differing in growth form and root biomass on CH4 emissions and sediment gas storage.

Biotechnological conversion of methane to methanol: evaluation of progress and potential [PDF]

, 2018
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 ...
