Understanding methanotroph ecology in a biofilter for efficiently mitigating methane emissions : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Soil Science (Biotechnology) at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
In New Zealand, the majority of the greenhouse gas (GHG), methane (CH4) emissions are from the agriculture sector (enteric fermentation, manure management) and the remainder from solid waste disposal, coal mining and natural gas leaks.

Biotechnological conversion of methane to methanol: evaluation of progress and potential [PDF]
Sources of methane are numerous, and vary greatly in their use and sustainable credentials. A Jekyll and Hyde character, it is a valuable energy source present as geological deposits of natural gas, however it is also potent greenhouse gas, released ...

Abstract Biochar has attracted considerable attention in recent years for its wide‐ranging applications, particularly its role in carbon sequestration as a strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Its emerging uses within the circular bioeconomy also position it as a valuable tool for environmental management, and ongoing research continues to ...

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 ...

Genomic Reconstruction of an Uncultured Hydrothermal Vent Gammaproteobacterial Methanotroph (Family Methylothermaceae) Indicates Multiple Adaptations to Oxygen Limitation [PDF]
Hydrothermal vents are an important contributor to marine biogeochemistry, producing large volumes of reduced fluids, gasses, and metals and housing unique, productive microbial and animal communities fueled by chemosynthesis.

Abstract Synchronizing nitrogen (N) fertilizer application with plant N uptake, as opposed to applying earlier, is believed to improve N use efficiency while simultaneously reducing nitrate leaching, ammonia volatilization, and greenhouse gas emissions. However, little research has been conducted to confirm that this is true.

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.

Conventional methanotrophs are responsible for atmospheric methane oxidation in paddy soils
Soils serve as the biological sink of the potent greenhouse gas methane with exceptionally low concentrations of ∼1.84 p.p.m.v. in the atmosphere. The as-yet-uncultivated methane-consuming bacteria have long been proposed to be responsible for this ‘high-

Role of methanotrophic communities in atmospheric methane oxidation in paddy soils
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).

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 ...
