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).

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.

Metabolic Features of Aerobic Methanotrophs: News and Views

, 2019
This review is focused on recent studies of carbon metabolism in aerobic methanotrophs that specifically addressed the properties, distribution and phylogeny of some of the key enzymes involved in assimilation of carbon from methane.

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.

NITROGEN-METABOLISM IN MARINE METHANOTROPHS

Two new methane-oxidizing bacteria have been isolated from seawater samples from Plymouth Sound. These marine methanotrophs have an obligate requirement for NaCl and exhibit many properties of typical Type I methanotrophs previously isolated from ...

Methanotrophs for Clean-Up of Polluted Aquifers

, 1991
Aquifers are vital reserves of drinking water which are under threat from pollution. Particular problems are posed by chlorinated compounds such as pesticides and solvents which native microbial populations are unable to degrade.

Characteristics of methanogens and methanotrophs in rice fields: a review [PDF]

, 2013
Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO2) with a global warming potential 25 times more than CO2. Rice fields are one of the main anthropogenic sources for methane and responsible for approximately 15-20% of the ...
