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 ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Boreal lakes and ponds produce two-thirds of the total natural methane emissions above the latitude of 50° North. These lake emissions are regulated by methanotrophs which can oxidize up to 99% of the methane produced in the sediments and the water ...

How methanotrophs respond to pH: A review of ecophysiology
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Varying pH globally affects terrestrial microbial communities and biochemical cycles. Methanotrophs effectively mitigate methane fluxes in terrestrial habitats. Many methanotrophs grow optimally at neutral pH.

Diversity and Composition of Methanotroph Communities in Caves
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Methane oxidizing microorganisms (methanotrophs) are ubiquitous in the environment and represent a major sink for the greenhouse gas methane (CH4).

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.

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, 2023 Methanotrophs oxidize methane (CH4) and greatly help in mitigating greenhouse effect. Increased temperatures due to global climate change can facilitate lake salinization, particularly in the regions with cold semiarid climate.

The methanol dehydrogenase gene, mxaF, as a functional and phylogenetic marker for proteobacterial methanotrophs in natural environments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The mxaF gene, coding for the large (α) subunit of methanol dehydrogenase, is highly conserved among distantly related methylotrophic species in the Alpha-, Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria.
