Exploring the Potential of Methanotrophs for Plant Growth Promotion in Rice Agriculture
Methane, 2023 Rice fields are one of the important anthropogenic sources of methane emissions. Methanotrophs dwelling near the rice roots and at the oxic–anoxic interface of paddy fields can oxidize a large fraction of the generated methane and are therefore ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy conservation is exclusively attributed to the archaeal domain.

Cultivation of Important Methanotrophs From Indian Rice Fields
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Methanotrophs are aerobic to micro-aerophilic bacteria, which oxidize and utilize methane, the second most important greenhouse gas. The community structure of the methanotrophs in rice fields worldwide has been studied mainly using culture-independent ...

Nitrous oxide respiration in acidophilic methanotrophs
Nature CommunicationsAbstract Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria are considered strict aerobes but are often highly abundant in hypoxic and even anoxic environments. Despite possessing denitrification genes, it remains to be verified whether denitrification contributes to their growth.

Methylmercury uptake and degradation by methanotrophs [PDF]
Science Advances, 2017 Methylmercury (CH3Hg+) is a potent neurotoxin produced by certain anaerobic microorganisms in natural environments. Although numerous studies have characterized the basis of mercury (Hg) methylation, no studies have examined CH3Hg+ degradation by ...

Impact of Copper on the Physiology and Transcriptome of Methylosinus Trichosporium OB3b Grown on Either Methane or Methanol. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolMethylosinus trichosporium OB3b can grow on methanol in the absence but not presence of copper due: (1) overgeneration of reducing power from methanol oxidation; (2) formate accumulation leading to acidification of the growth medium and inactivation of formate dehydrogenase; and (3) lack of expression of potential oxidative stress defence genes ...

Methanotrophic bacteria. [PDF]
Microbiological reviews, 1996 Methane-utilizing bacteria (methanotrophs) are a diverse group of gram-negative bacteria that are related to other members of the Proteobacteria. These bacteria are classified into three groups based on the pathways used for assimilation of formaldehyde, the major source of cell carbon, and other physiological and morphological features. The type I and

Methanotrophs and copper [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2010 Methanotrophs, cells that consume methane (CH(4)) as their sole source of carbon and energy, play key roles in the global carbon cycle, including controlling anthropogenic and natural emissions of CH(4), the second-most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide.

In Vivo Genome Editing in Type I and II Methanotrophs Using a CRISPR/Cas9 System
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2023 Methanotrophic bacteria are Gram-negative, aerobic organisms that use methane as their sole source of carbon and energy. In this study, we constructed and exemplified a CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system and used it to successfully make gene deletions and

Spatial Heterogeneity in Methane Biogeochemistry and Prokaryotic Community Structure in Sub-Arctic Waterbodies in Northern Canada. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolProkaryotic communities and methane dynamics differed markedly across 16 sub‐Arctic waterbodies. Maximum depth and permafrost thaw emerged as key drivers, with non‐stratified thaw‐affected sites hosting distinct communities and elevated methane fluxes, highlighting their potential role as emerging hotspots of methane emissions.
