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 ...

Effects of nitrogen load on the function and diversity of methanotrophs in the littoral wetland of a boreal lake

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. A major part of the total methane emissions from lake ecosystems are emitted from littoral wetlands. Methane emissions are significantly reduced by methanotrophs as they use methane as

Simultaneous sulfide and methane oxidation by an extremophile

Nature Communications, 2023
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methane (CH4) are produced in anoxic environments through sulfate reduction and organic matter decomposition. Both gases diffuse upwards into oxic zones where aerobic methanotrophs mitigate CH4 emissions by oxidizing this ...

Methane oxidation and emission in Lake Lugano (Southern Switzerland) : a lipid biomarker and isotopic approach [PDF]

, 2015
Methane is an important greenhouse gas in Earth's atmosphere. The sources of atmospheric methane are largely biogenic, being produced under anoxic conditions by methanogenic Archaea.

Methanotrophs: Discoveries, Environmental Relevance, and a Perspective on Current and Future Applications

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.

The role of methanotrophy in the microbial carbon metabolism of temperate lakes

Nature Communications, 2022
Methane metabolism is considered of secondary importance in most lake food webs. Here the authors quantify the contribution of methanotrophs to C cycling in six lakes, finding evidence of a large role of methanotrophs due to their higher specific ...

Identification of functionally active aerobic methanotrophs and their methane oxidation potential in sediments from the Shenhu Area, South China Sea

China Geology, 2022
: Large amounts of gas hydrate are distributed in the northern slope of the South China Sea, which is a potential threat of methane leakage. Aerobic methane oxidation by methanotrophs, significant methane biotransformation that occurs in sediment surface

Detection of autotrophic verrucomicrobial methanotrophs in a geothermal environment using stable isotope probing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Genomic analysis of the methanotrophic verrucomicrobium Methylacidiphilum infernorum strain V4 has shown that most pathways conferring its methanotrophic lifestyle are similar to those found in proteobacterial methanotrophs.

The Proteobacterial Methanotroph Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b Remodels Membrane Lipids in Response to Phosphate Limitation

mBio, 2022
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and its concentration has continued to increase in recent decades. Aerobic methanotrophs, bacteria that use methane as the sole carbon source, are an important biological sink for methane, and they ...
