Novel methylotrophic bacteria isolated from the River Thames (London, UK) [PDF]
Enrichment and elective culture for methylotrophs from sediment of the River Thames in central London yielded a diversity of pure cultures representing several genera of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, which were mainly of organisms not ...

Isoprene oxidation by the gram-negative model bacterium variovorax sp. WS11 [PDF]
Plant-produced isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) represents a significant portion of global volatile organic compound production, equaled only by methane.

Abstract Substrates added to peatland soils through anthropogenic disturbance alter carbon cycling and can shift these ecosystems from sinks to sources of atmospheric carbon. Isolating the direct influence these substrates have on peatland carbon cycling can be a challenge in field‐based studies due to interacting effects of vegetation and ...

Constraining Greenhouse Gas Cycling and Emissions in Africa's Largest Humic Lake
Abstract Humic tropical lakes and wetlands are globally important sources of atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs). However, mechanistic insight into GHG cycling in such systems remains limited—especially in understudied central Africa. To address this, here we measured high‐, falling‐, and low‐water seasonal concentrations and isotopic compositions of ...

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

Graminoids Increase Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Thawed Permafrost at the End of the Growing Season
Field study investigating whether and to which degree graminoids further reduce soil redox and lead to more greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost soil on top of hydrology and anoxia effects. Graminoids, thus, contribute to thawed permafrost soils turning to C sources rather than sinks toward the end of the growing season.

Variation in methanotroph-related proxies in peat deposits from Misten Bog, Hautes-Fagnes, Belgium [PDF]
Methane emissions from peat bogs are strongly reduced by aerobic methane oxidising bacteria (methanotrophs) living in association with Sphagnum spp. Field studies and laboratory experiments have revealed that, with increasing water level and temperature,

Particulate methane monooxygenase genes in methanotrophs [PDF]
A 45-kDa membrane polypeptide that is associated with activity of the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) has been purified from three methanotrophic bacteria, and the N-terminal amino acid sequence was found to be identical in 17 of 20 positions for all three polypeptides and identical in 14 of 20 positions for the N terminus of AmoB, the 43-kDa ...

Fostering Peat Moss Feedbacks to Accelerate Peatland Restoration
Alternative stable states and peat moss and vascular plant feedbacks in peatlands. Selected feedbacks in a peat moss‐dominated state or a vascular plant‐dominated state. The two insets show ecosystem states (dot) in resilience landscapes (bottom).
