Diazotrophic methanotrophs in peatlands: the missing link?

, 2015
Commentary A recent publication in Plant and Soil (Leppänen et al. 2015) reports on the effect of peat moss species and water table on the N2 fixation rate in boreal peatlands and forests.

Diversity, mutagenesis and recombinant expression of the soluble methane monooxygenase [PDF]

Methanotrophic bacteria convert methane to methanol using a methane monooxygenase enzyme (MMO). Two types of MMO exist: a membrane bound enzyme (PMMO) and a cytoplasmic enzyme (sMMO).

Diversity and community assembly mechanisms of soil methanotrophs in typical ecotypes of the Mitika alpine wetland in northern Xizang

Frontiers in Microbiology
The Mitika alpine wetland is a globally important wetland on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, which serves as a vital carbon reservoir on Earth’s surface.

Methylotetracoccus oryzae Strain C50C1 Is a Novel Type Ib Gammaproteobacterial Methanotroph Adapted to Freshwater Environments

mSphere, 2019
Methane-oxidizing microorganisms perform an important role in reducing emissions of the greenhouse gas methane to the atmosphere. To date, known bacterial methanotrophs belong to the Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, and NC10 phyla.

Detection, isolation and characterization of marine methanotrophs [PDF]

In order to investigate the occurrence of methanotrophs in the marine environment, representative organisms have been isolated from seawater. As traditional methods for isolating and cultivating methanotrophs were found to be unsuccessful when applied to

Role of methanotrophic communities in atmospheric methane oxidation in paddy soils

Frontiers in Microbiology
Wetland systems are known methane (CH4) sources. However, flooded rice fields are periodically drained. The paddy soils can absorb atmospheric CH4 during the dry seasons due to high-affinity methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotroph).

Winter cover crops alter methanotrophs community structure in a double-rice paddy soil

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
Methanotrophs play a vital role in the mitigation of methane emission from soils. However, the influences of cover crops incorporation on paddy soil methanotrophic community structure have not been fully understood.

Abundance, rather than composition, of methane‐cycling microbes mainly affects methane emissions from different vegetation soils in the Zoige alpine wetland

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Methane fluxes, which are controlled by methanogens and methanotrophs, vary among wetland vegetation species. In this study, we investigated belowground methanogens and methanotrophs in two soils under two different dominant vegetation species with ...

Methanogens dominate methanotrophs and act as a methane source in aquaculture pond sediments

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Aquaculture pond sediments act as hotspots for methane (CH4) emissions; however, knowledge gaps on the regulation of microorganisms hinder our further understanding of methane dynamics in aquaculture pond sediment.

Ecology of aerobic methanotrophs and their role in methane cycling

, 2010
Aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) are widely distributed in the environment and play a key role in the cycling of the potent greenhouse gas methane.
