Methanotrophy Goes Commercial: Challenges, Opportunities, and Brief History

2018
Methane is an advantaged feedstock due to its high energy density and widespread abundance. Prices of methane are at historic lows due to modern natural gas extraction techniques and advances in biogas generation by anaerobic digestion. The availability of genetically tractable methanotrophs that can grow readily in industrial settings and new ...

Proteomic evidence of methanotrophy in methane‐enriched hypolimnetic lake water

Limnology and Oceanography, 2016
AbstractFreshwaters have recently been recognized as important sources of methane emitted to the atmosphere, and microbial methane oxidation at the oxic/anoxic interface is a key process controlling these emissions. We applied proteomics to determine enzyme expression patterns of methanotrophs in response to methane enrichment of lake water. In a small‐

Seasonal methanotrophy across a hydrological gradient in a freshwater wetland

Ecological Engineering, 2014
Abstract Wetlands provide significant ecosystem services but are also the largest natural source of methane (CH 4 ), a critical greenhouse gas. Oxidation of CH 4 in soils/sediments, driven by methanotrophs, offsets CH 4 losses to the atmosphere. Manipulation of flooding regimes to optimize methanotrophy is a potential management strategy to reduce ...

Aerobic methanotrophy at ancient marine methane seeps: A synthesis

Organic Geochemistry, 2008
Abstract The molecular fingerprints of the chemosynthesis based microbial communities at methane seeps tend to be extremely well preserved in authigenic carbonates. The key process at seeps is the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), which is performed by consortia of methanotrophic archaea and sulphate reducing bacteria.

Simulation of methanotrophy in the mathematical model ecosys

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1999
Abstract Oxidation by soil-based methanotrophs is an important sink for methane in the soil and atmosphere. Methanotrophy should therefore be explicitly represented in models of CH 4 transfer between soils and the atmosphere. The model for methanotrophy proposed here is based on the kinetics of CH 4 oxidation, as controlled by the biomass and ...

Methanotrophy: From the environment to industry and back

Chemical Engineering Journal, 2010
Understanding concerning natural microbially mediated processes has been severely retarded by the common requirement to study microorganisms only as pure monocultures under aseptic conditions, in spite of the fact that, in virtually all real environments, microbial strains function in concert.
