Expansion of aerobic methanotrophy to the phylum of Actinomycetota and its environmental implications [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyFor over a century, taxonomically validated pure cultures of aerobic methanotrophs belonged to Pseudomonadota, or since 2007, Verrucomicrobiota. A recent article published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology by H. Kambara, T.

Stable microbial community promotes aerobic methanotrophy in a large river-reservoir system [PDF]
mSystemsAerobic methanotrophy, mainly carried out by methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) in freshwater systems, plays a crucial role in reducing methane (CH4) emissions and serves as an additional carbon source (methane-derived carbon) that supports the development

The origin of aerobic methanotrophy within the Proteobacteria [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2019 ABSTRACTAerobic methanotrophs play critical roles in the global carbon cycle, but despite their environmental ubiquity, they are phylogenetically restricted. Via bioinformatic analyses, it is shown that methanotrophy likely arose from methylotrophy from the lateral gene transfer of either of the two known forms of methane monooxygenase (particulate and

Metals and Methanotrophy [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2018 ABSTRACT Aerobic methanotrophs have long been known to play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, being capable of converting methane to biomass and carbon dioxide. Interestingly, these microbes exhibit great sensitivity to copper and rare-earth elements, with the expression of key genes involved in the central pathway of methane ...

Bioremediation via Methanotrophy: Overview of Recent Findings and Suggestions for Future Research
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Microbially-mediated bioremediation of polluted sites has been a subject of much research over the past 30 years, with many different compounds shown to be degraded under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Methanogenesis and methanotrophy within a Sphagnum peatland [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 1995 Abstract Methane production and consumption activities were examined in a Massachusetts peatland. Peat from depths of 5–35 cm incubated under anaerobic conditions, produced an average of 2 nmol CH4 g−1 h−1 with highest rates for peat fractions between 25–30 cm depth. Extracted microbial nucleic acids showed the strongest relative hybridization with a

The role of methanotrophy in the microbial carbon metabolism of temperate lakes
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractPrevious stable isotope and biomarker evidence has indicated that methanotrophy is an important pathway in the microbial loop of freshwater ecosystems, despite the low cell abundance of methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and the low methane concentrations relative to the more abundant dissolved organic carbon (DOC).

First isolation of a methanotrophic Mycobacterium reveals ammonia- and pH-tolerant methane oxidation [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyMethanotrophs facilitate a key step in the global carbon cycle—oxidation of natural and anthropogenic methane—and comprehension of their physiology is critical in unraveling the ecology revolving around microbial methane sinks.
