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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
