Large methane oxidation across an oxygen gradient in Baltic Sea deep waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Robust estimations of methane (CH4) oxidation in marginal seas remain elusive, making CH4 budgets particularly uncertain. Here, we investigate the CH4 benthic source and bottom layer oxidation across the entire Baltic Sea using concentration and stable isotope (δ13C‐CH4) profiles along oxygen and salinity gradients.

Unexpected metabolic versatility among type II methanotrophs in the Alphaproteobacteria.

Biological chemistry, 2020
Aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria, or methanotrophs, play a crucial role in the global methane cycle. Their methane oxidation activity in various environmental settings has a great mitigation effect on global climate change.

Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b bioaugmentation unleashes polyhydroxybutyrate-accumulating potential in waste-activated sludge

Microbial Cell Factories
Background Wastewater treatment plants contribute approximately 6% of anthropogenic methane emissions. Methanotrophs, capable of converting methane into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), offer a promising solution for utilizing methane as a carbon source, using

The Acidophilic Methanotroph Methylacidimicrobium tartarophylax 4AC Grows as Autotroph on H2 Under Microoxic Conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Emissions of the strong greenhouse gas methane (CH4) to the atmosphere are mitigated by methanotrophic microorganisms. Methanotrophs found in extremely acidic geothermal systems belong to the phylum Verrucomicrobia.

Transcriptional activities of methanogens and methanotrophs vary with methane emission flux in rice soils under chronic nutrient constraints of phosphorus and potassium [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
Nutrient status in soil is crucial for the growth and development of plants which indirectly or directly affect the ecophysiological functions of resident soil microorganisms.

Nitrification-denitrification in WSP: a mechanism for permanent nitrogen removal in maturation ponds [PDF]

, 2009
A pilot-scale primary maturation pond was spiked with 15N-labelled ammonia (15NH4Cl) and 15N labelled nitrite (Na15NO2), in order to improve current understanding of the dynamics of inorganic nitrogen transformations and removal in WSP systems.

Identification of Novel Methane-, Ethane-, and Propane-Oxidizing Bacteria at Marine Hydrocarbon Seeps by Stable Isotope Probing [PDF]

, 2010
Marine hydrocarbon seeps supply oil and gas to microorganisms in sediments and overlying water. We used stable isotope probing (SIP) to identify aerobic bacteria oxidizing gaseous hydrocarbons in surface sediment from the Coal Oil Point seep field ...

Drastic suppression of benthic nitrogen fixation by restructuring diazotrophic communities following tidal wetland conversion to aquaculture ponds

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Tidal wetland reclamation is a widespread anthropogenic disturbance that alters sediment biogeochemistry; however, its impacts on biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and diazotrophic communities remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated 15N isotope labeling, metagenomic sequencing, and network analysis across a bare tidal flat (B), moderate‐

Draft genome sequence of Methyloferula stellata AR4, an obligate methanotroph possessing only a soluble methane monooxygenase [PDF]

, 2015
Methyloferula stellata AR4 is an aerobic acidophilic methanotroph, which, in contrast to most known methanotrophs but similar to Methylocella spp., possesses only a soluble methane monooxygenase. However, it differs from Methylocella spp.

Thermophilic methanotrophs: in hot pursuit

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2019
ABSTRACTMethane is a potent greenhouse gas responsible for 20–30% of global climate change effects. The global methane budget is ∼500–600 Tg y−1, with the majority of methane produced via microbial processes, including anthropogenic-mediated sources such as ruminant animals, rice fields, sewage treatment facilities and landfills.
