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.

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).

Acidophilic methanotrophs: Occurrence, diversity, and possible bioremediation applications
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2023 Methanotrophs have been identified and isolated from acidic environments such as wetlands, acidic soils, peat bogs, and groundwater aquifers. Due to their methane (CH4) utilization as a carbon and energy source, acidophilic methanotrophs are important in

Facultative Methanotrophs Revisited [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2005 Methane is one of the most important greenhouse gases, and its concentration in the atmosphere is increasing by approximately 1% per year (16). Methane-oxidizing bacteria, or methanotrophs, are a key group of bacteria involved in the global methane cycle and can be found in many environments.

Verrucomicrobial methanotrophs: ecophysiology of metabolically versatile acidophiles
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2021 Methanotrophs are an important group of microorganisms that counteract methane emissions to the atmosphere. Methane-oxidising bacteria of the Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria have been studied for over a century, while methanotrophs of the phylum ...

Comparative Analysis of Root Microbiomes of Rice Cultivars with High and Low Methane Emissions Reveals Differences in Abundance of Methanogenic Archaea and Putative Upstream Fermenters. [PDF]
, 2020 Rice cultivation worldwide accounts for ∼7 to 17% of global methane emissions. Methane cycling in rice paddies is a microbial process not only involving methane producers (methanogens) and methane metabolizers (methanotrophs) but also other microbial ...
