How methanotrophs respond to pH: A review of ecophysiology [PDF]
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.

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.

Methylmercury uptake and degradation by methanotrophs [PDF]
Science Advances, 2017 Certain methanotrophs can take up and degrade methylmercury, signifying a potentially important demethylation pathway in the environment.

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 ...

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 methanotrophic activity in engineered landfill biocovers [PDF]
Waste Management, 2009 The dynamics and changes in the potential activity and community structure of methanotrophs in landfill covers, as a function of time and depth were investigated. A passive methane oxidation biocover (PMOB-1) was constructed in St-Nicéphore MSW Landfill (Quebec, Canada).

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.

Distribution of Methanotrophs in the Phyllosphere [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2012 Plants have been reported to emit methane as well as methanol originating in their cell-wall constituents. We investigated methanotrophs in the phyllosphere by the enrichment culture method with methane as sole carbon source. We enriched methanotrophs from the leaves, flowers, bark, and roots of various plants.
