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

Novel Methanotrophs of the Family Methylococcaceae from Different Geographical Regions and Habitats [PDF]

, 2015
Terrestrial methane seeps and rice paddy fields are important ecosystems in the methane cycle. Methanotrophic bacteria in these ecosystems play a key role in reducing methane emission into the atmosphere.

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 ...

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.

Metabolic engineering in methanotrophic bacteria [PDF]

Metabolic Engineering, 2015
Methane, as natural gas or biogas, is the least expensive source of carbon for (bio)chemical synthesis. Scalable biological upgrading of this simple alkane to chemicals and fuels can bring new sustainable solutions to a number of industries with large environmental footprints, such as natural gas/petroleum production, landfills, wastewater treatment ...

Enigmatic persistence of aerobic methanotrophs in oxygen-limiting freshwater habitats

The ISME Journal
Methanotrophic bacteria mitigate emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane (CH4) from a variety of anthropogenic and natural sources, including freshwater lakes, which are large sources of CH4 on a global scale. Despite a dependence on dioxygen (O2)

Recurrence and frequency of disturbance have cumulative effect on methanotrophic activity, abundance, and community structure.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Alternate prolonged drought and heavy rainfall is predicted to intensify with global warming. Desiccation-rewetting events alter the soil quality and nutrient concentrations which drive microbial-mediated processes, including methane oxidation, a key ...

A temperate river estuary is a sink for methanotrophs adapted to extremes of pH, temperature and salinity [PDF]

, 2016
River Tyne (UK) estuarine sediments harbour a genetically and functionally diverse community of methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs), the composition and activity of which were directly influenced by imposed environmental conditions (pH, salinity ...

Methylocella Species Are Facultatively Methanotrophic [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2005
ABSTRACT All aerobic methanotrophic bacteria described to date are unable to grow on substrates containing carbon-carbon bonds. Here we demonstrate that members of the recently discovered genus Methylocella are an exception to this.

Metabolic coupling between soil aerobic methanotrophs and denitrifiers in rice paddy fields

Nature Communications
Paddy fields are hotspots of microbial denitrification, which is typically linked to the oxidation of electron donors such as methane (CH4) under anoxic and hypoxic conditions.
