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

Synthetic 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.

Linking Tectonics and Cratonic Vertical Motions: Deep‐Time Thermochronology Reveals >1,000 Myr of Low‐Temperature Conditions in Southeastern Finland

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Fennoscandian Shield potentially hosts the longest continuous habitable conditions for Earth's deep biosphere. Billion‐year equilibrium freeboard conditions of cratons and the longevity of deep biosphere microbial communities are directly related through the thermal histories of rocks that host these communities.

Genetics and molecular biology of methanotrophs [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992
Over the last 20 years or so, the obligate methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) have attracted considerable interest. As they grow on a relatively cheap and abundant carbon source, they appeared ideal organisms for the production of bulk chemicals, single-cell protein and for use in biotransformations.

Survival strategies of aerobic methanotrophs under hypoxia in methanogenic lake sediments

Environmental Microbiome
Background Microbial methane oxidation, methanotrophy, plays a crucial role in mitigating the release of the potent greenhouse gas methane from aquatic systems.

Prokaryotic Novelty and Metabolic Diversity in the Tagoro Shallow Hydrothermal System (Canary Islands, Spain)

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hydrothermal activity at the Tagoro submarine volcano shapes distinct epipelagic and benthic prokaryotic communities. Microbial diversity decreases towards vent sources, yet novel taxa dominate and potentially contribute to iron, nitrogen, sulphur and methane cycling in this shallow hydrothermal system with high unexplored microbial diversity ...

Rewiring Carbon Metabolism in Bacillus methanolicus via Heterologous Phosphoketolase Expression Enhances Biomass Yield From Methanol and Reduces CO2 Loss

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
Introducing a phosphoketolase pathway into Bacillus methanolicus enhances methanol‐to‐biomass yields by 18%–24% and reduces CO2 evolution by up to 12%. Coupled with a tunable expression system, this work demonstrates improved carbon conservation and expands metabolic engineering strategies for methylotrophs.

Novel facultative Methylocella strains are active methane consumers at terrestrial natural gas seeps

Microbiome, 2019
Background Natural gas seeps contribute to global climate change by releasing substantial amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane and other climate-active gases including ethane and propane to the atmosphere. However, methanotrophs, bacteria capable

Species‐level controls of foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes: roles of traits and microbes in temperate trees

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3221-3237, September 2026.
Species‐level variation in temperate tree foliar greenhouse gas exchange, showing consistent foliar CH4 uptake, N2O emission, stronger CH4 uptake in fall leaves, and contrasting methanotroph communities between the high‐CH4‐oxidizing species Tilia americana and the low‐CH4‐oxidizing species Prunus virginiana. Summary The contribution of tree foliage to

Response and resilience of methanotrophs to disturbances

, 2011
Methanotrophic bacteria are the only known biological sink for the greenhouse gas methane. Therefore, methanotrophs play a key function in carbon cycling, an important biogeochemical process that affects global climate change.

Environmental drivers of gaseous carbon fluxes in drained and rewetted Minnesota peatlands, U. S. A.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Rewetting shows promise for mitigating carbon loss from drained peatlands. However, knowledge gaps remain in rewetting impacts on gaseous carbon fluxes and factors affecting rewetting success, especially in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, United States, despite abundant degraded peatlands presenting restoration opportunities ...
