Ecosystem‐Scale Methane Emissions From Peatlands of the Hudson Bay Lowlands
Abstract Northern peatlands are important sources of methane (CH4) in the atmosphere. However, the magnitude of CH4 emissions and their response to environmental factors are poorly constrained within the Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL), the largest contiguous peatland complex in North America. This study investigated seasonal (April–November) eddy covariance‐

Putative Analogs of Pyrite Suns Forming in Proglacial Alaska Mudflats
Abstract Disc‐shaped pyrite suns of the Pennsylvanian age Anna Shale are thought to have formed where pressure restricted pyrite crystal growth to a flattened disc shape during diagenesis at the Anna Shale and the underlying Herrin coal boundary.

Diazotrophic methanotrophs in peatlands: the missing link?
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.

Active Methanotrophs in Suboxic Alpine Swamp Soils of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
Methanotrophs are the only biofilters for reducing the flux of global methane (CH4) emissions in water-logged wetlands. However, adaptation of aerobic methanotrophs to low concentrations of oxygen and nitrogen in typical swamps, such as that of the ...

Perspectives for Advancing Biotechnological Succinic Acid Production
Succinic acid is an important molecule for sustainable chemical manufacturing, but its industrial production faces high costs and sustainability challenges, which are linked to feedstocks and excessive acid/base consumption. This opinion explores production routes based on next‐generation feedstocks and low‐pH fermentations to inspire novel cost ...

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

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).

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

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 ...

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