Particulate methane monooxygenase genes in methanotrophs [PDF]

, 1995
A 45-kDa membrane polypeptide that is associated with activity of the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) has been purified from three methanotrophic bacteria, and the N-terminal amino acid sequence was found to be identical in 17 of 20 positions ...

Ökologie methanotropher Bakterien: Räumliche Verteilung und Funktion methanotropher Bakterien in Feuchtgebieten.

, 2010
Methan ist neben CO2 das wichtigste Treibhausgas, dessen relatives Treibhauspotential ungefähr ein drittel höher liegt als das von CO2. Der Großteil atmosphärischen Methans wird dabei aus biogenen Methanquellen freigesetzt, zum Beispiel renaturierte Mülldeponien, Feuchtgebiete oder Reisfelder.

Identity of active methanotrophs in landfill cover soil as revealed by DNA-stable isotope probing

, 2007
A considerable amount of methane produced during decomposition of landfill waste can be oxidized in landfill cover soil by methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.

GENETICS AND MOLECULAR-BIOLOGY OF METHANOTROPHS

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,

Molecular ecology of methanotrophs in a forest soil

, 2000
Upland soils are a significant sink of atmospheric methane, but the organisms responsible for methane consumption have yet to be identified. The ecology of methanotrophs was investigated in a beech forest soil which exhibited atmospheric-methane-uptake ...

Activity and Identification of Culturable Methanotrophs from Mangrove Sediments, South East Coast of India

Anthropogenic activities have escalated CH4 emissions, exacerbating global warming, yet specialized bacteria known as Methanotrophs play a key role in mitigating atmospheric CH4 levels by consuming 30-70% of emitted methane.

nifH Sequences and Nitrogen Fixation in Type I and Type II Methanotrophs

, 2001
Some methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) are known to be capable of expressing nitrogenase and utilizing N 2 as a nitrogen source.

Identification of active aerobic methanotrophs in plateau wetlands using DNA stable isotope probing

Sedge-dominated wetlands on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau are methane emission centers. Methanotrophs at these sites play a role in reducing methane emissions, but relatively little is known about the composition of active methanotrophs in these wetlands ...

Investigation on the aerobic methanotrophic community and the dominant taxon Methylomarinum in seagrass ecosystem

Environmental Microbiome
Background Methanotrophs are a key biological methane sink, and aerobic methanotrophs critically reduce wetland methane emissions under global climate change.

Variations in the N2 Fixation and CH4 Oxidation Activities of Type I Methanotrophs in the Rice Roots in Saline-Alkali Paddy Field Under Nitrogen Fertilization

Rice
The root-associated methanotrophs contribute to N2 fixation and CH4 oxidation in paddy fields under N-limited conditions. However, the impact of nitrogen inputs on N₂ fixation and CH₄ oxidation by methanotrophs is largely unknown, especially in saline ...
