Expansion of aerobic methanotrophy to the phylum of Actinomycetota and its environmental implications [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
For 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.

Microbial interaction networks as climate thermometers: redefining temperature sensitivity of aerobic methanotrophy in freshwater ecosystems [PDF]

npj Biodiversity
Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) serve as critical biogeochemical gatekeepers, mitigating methane (CH4) emissions from freshwaters through aerobic methanotrophy.

Stable microbial community promotes aerobic methanotrophy in a large river-reservoir system [PDF]

mSystems
Aerobic 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

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.

Pushing the upper temperature limit of methanotrophy in continental hydrothermal ecosystems, active biological methane oxidation in hot springs of Yellowstone National Park [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Methane oxidation in terrestrial geothermal systems is an understudied process contributing to carbon cycling in extreme environments. We combined geochemical analyses, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenome sequencing, and 14CH4 microcosm

First isolation of a methanotrophic Mycobacterium reveals ammonia- and pH-tolerant methane oxidation [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Methanotrophs 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.

The Apparent Involvement of ANMEs in Mineral Dependent Methane Oxidation, as an Analog for Possible Martian Methanotrophy

Life, 2011
On Earth, marine anaerobic methane oxidation (AOM) can be driven by the microbial reduction of sulfate, iron, and manganese. Here, we have further characterized marine sediment incubations to determine if the mineral dependent methane oxidation involves ...

Physiological Effect of XoxG(4) on Lanthanide-Dependent Methanotrophy [PDF]

mBio, 2018
A recent surprising discovery of the activity of rare earth metals (lanthanides) as enzyme cofactors as well as transcriptional regulators has overturned the traditional assumption of biological inertia of these metals.

Rethinking Termite Methane Emissions: Does the Mound Environment Matter? [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Many factors can influence the amount of methane (CH4) that is released from a termite mound. In this study, we tested how the external and internal environment of a termite mound impacts CH4 emission using field measurements of mounds in a Northern Australia savanna.

Soil Methanotrophy Model (MeMo v1.0): a process-based model to quantify global uptake of atmospheric methane by soil [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2018
Soil bacteria known as methanotrophs are the sole biological sink for atmospheric methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas that is responsible for  ∼  20 % of the human-driven increase in radiative forcing since pre-industrial times.
