Methanogens dominate methanotrophs and act as a methane source in aquaculture pond sediments
Ecotoxicology and Environmental SafetyAquaculture 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.

Microbial impact on the isotope composition of methane in both thermal and hyperalkaline waters of central Greece [PDF]
, 2019 Introduction The different origins of methane can be subdivided in biogenic (either directly produced by microbial activity or deriving by decay of organic matter at T > 150\ub0C) and abiogenic (from pure inorganic reactions). Among the latter, one of

Genetics and molecular biology of methanotrophs [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 Over the last 20 years or so, the obligate methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) have attracted considerable interest. As they grow on a relatively cheap and abundant carbon source, they appeared ideal organisms for the production of bulk chemicals, single-cell protein and for use in biotransformations.

Bubble transport Mechanism: Indications for a gas bubble-mediated inoculation of benthic methanothrophs into the water column [PDF]
, 2015 Highlights • A new bentho-pelagic transport mechanism of microorganisms is hypothesized • A bubble transport hypothesis was tested using a new gas bubble-collecting device • Bubble-mediated transport rate of methanotrophs was quantified at ...

Interactions of Methylotrophs with Plants and Other Heterotrophic Bacteria
Microorganisms, 2015 Methylotrophs, which can utilize methane and/or methanol as sole carbon and energy sources, are key players in the carbon cycle between methane and CO2, the two most important greenhouse gases.

Methanotrophs from natural ecosystems as biocontrol agents for ruminant methane emissions [PDF]
, 2012 In ruminant cattle, the anaerobic fermentation of ingested plant biomass results in the production of methane (CH4). This CH4 is subsequently eructated to the environment, where it acts as a potent greenhouse gas and is one of the leading sources of ...

Methanotroph Ecology, Environmental Distribution and Functioning
, 2019 The dynamics of methane concentrations in the atmosphere in recent decades has demonstrated many anomalies which are poorly understood. The only biological way of degrading this potent greenhouse gas is by microbial oxidation. Aerobic methanotrophic bacteriaAerobic methanotrophic bacteria(MB) play an important role in many ecosystems worldwide ...
