Primary productivity coupled to oxic methane production in coastal waters of southern China

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Oxic methane (CH4) production (OMP) occurs in diverse oxygenated surface waters worldwide. However, phytoplankton‐driven OMP in natural marine environments remains poorly documented. During a research cruise in the highly productive southern East China Sea, we measured OMP by incubating phytoplankton‐rich surface waters and found that CH4 ...

Thermophilic methanotrophs: in hot pursuit

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2019
ABSTRACTMethane is a potent greenhouse gas responsible for 20–30% of global climate change effects. The global methane budget is ∼500–600 Tg y−1, with the majority of methane produced via microbial processes, including anthropogenic-mediated sources such as ruminant animals, rice fields, sewage treatment facilities and landfills.

Methane emissions from canals draining tropical peatlands: Constraining temporal variability and emissions pathways

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Drainage canals are potential hotspots of methane (CH4) emissions from degraded peatlands in Southeast Asia. Estimates of CH4 emissions from these canals remain scarce, and both the temporal variability and pathways of CH4 emissions are uncertain.

Organic Waste Diversion in the United States Can Substantially Reduce Landfill Methane Emissions But Plays a Minor Role in Nutrient Recycling

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The decomposition of organic waste in landfills accounts for 17% of US anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions. Despite ongoing efforts to reduce organic waste disposal in landfills, it is unclear what the emissions mitigation and nutrient recovery potential of landfill diversion is, across facility, state, and national scales.

From nature to nurture: Essence and methods to isolate robust methanotrophic bacteria

open access: yesSynthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2020
Methanotrophic bacteria are entities with innate biocatalytic potential to biofilter and oxidize methane into simpler compounds concomitantly conserving energy, which can contribute to copious industrial applications.

Revising the Magnitude and Trends of the Global Methane Soil Sink With Process‐Based, Machine‐Learning, and Atmospheric Inversion Modeling Approaches

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Methane (CH4) oxidation by microbes is the largest biological sink of global methane, yet its magnitude and long‐term variability remain uncertain. Here, we combined process‐based (PB), machine‐learning (ML), and atmospheric inversion approaches to evaluate the global methane soil sinks and its implication for the atmospheric CH4 budget in ...

Survival strategies of aerobic methanotrophs under hypoxia in methanogenic lake sediments

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiome

Archaeal Tetraether Lipids as Tracers for Past Marine Environmental Change

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Archaea are single‐celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs).

Vegetation Increases CH4 Emissions and Methanotroph Diversity in Marine Sediments

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seagrass meadows enhance carbon burial but also increase methane (CH4) emissions from marine sediments. The presence of seagrass modifies sediment properties, creating carbon‐rich environments characterized by higher carbon accumulation and CO2 fluxes, which stimulate CH4 production and lead to higher emissions.

Nature's Nanotech Warriors: The Role of Metalloproteins and Protein Cages for Environmental Remediation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Cartoon representation of five major classes of metalloproteins and their brief mechanisms of bioremediation. The five classes include metallothioneins, metal‐precipitating enzymes, P.‐type ATPases, protein cages, and synthetic metalloproteins (de novo‐designed proteins/peptides for selective adsorption). These natural and engineered protein structures
