The Microbiome and Occurrence of Methanotrophy in Carnivorous Sponges [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
As shown by recent studies, filter-feeding sponges are known to host a wide variety of microorganisms. However, the microbial community of the non-filtering carnivorous sponges (Porifera, Cladorhizidae) has been the subject of less scrutiny. Here, we present the results from a comparative study of the methanotrophic carnivorous sponge Cladorhiza ...

Difluoromethane, a New and Improved Inhibitor of Methanotrophy [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT Difluoromethane (HFC-32; DFM) is compared to acetylene and methyl fluoride as an inhibitor of methanotrophy in cultures and soils. DFM was found to be a reversible inhibitor of CH 4 oxidation by Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath). Consumption of CH 4 in

Methanotrophy by a Mycobacterium species that dominates a cave microbial ecosystem [PDF]

Nature Microbiology, 2022
So far, only members of the bacterial phyla Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia are known to grow methanotrophically under aerobic conditions. Here we report that this metabolic trait is also observed within the Actinobacteria. We enriched and cultivated a methanotrophic Mycobacterium from an extremely acidic biofilm growing on a cave wall at a gaseous ...

Methanotrophy - Environmental, Industrial and Medical Applications [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2019
Aerobic methanotrophs are an intriguing group of microbes with the singular ability to consume methane as their sole source of carbon and energy. As such, methanotrophs are receiving increased attention to control methane emissions to limit future climate change. Methanotrophs have a wide range of other applications, including pollutant remediation and

Methanotrophy across a natural permafrost thaw environment [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2018
Abstract The fate of carbon sequestered in permafrost is a key concern for future global warming as this large carbon stock is rapidly becoming a net methane source due to widespread thaw. Methane release from permafrost is moderated by methanotrophs, which oxidise 20–60% of this methane before emission to the atmosphere.

Adapting Macroecology to Microbiology: Using Occupancy Modeling To Assess Functional Profiles across Metagenomes

mSystems, 2021
Metagenomic sequencing provides information on the metabolic capacities and taxonomic affiliations for members of a microbial community. When assessing metabolic functions in a community, missing genes in pathways can occur in two ways; the genes may ...

Carbon Isotope Chemostratigraphy Across the Permian-Triassic Boundary at Chaotian, China: Implications for the Global Methane Cycle in the Aftermath of the Extinction

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
During the end-Permian extinction, a substantial amount of methane (CH4) was likely released into the ocean-atmosphere system associated with the Siberian Traps volcanism, although fluctuations in the global CH4 cycle in the aftermath of the extinction ...

Redox Zone and Trophic State as Drivers of Methane-Oxidizing Bacterial Abundance and Community Structure in Lake Sediments

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Eutrophication is expected to increase methane production in freshwater sediments worldwide over the coming decades. Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) consume a significant fraction of this sedimentary methane, but the factors that control their ...

A scalable model for methane consumption in arctic mineral soils

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Recent field studies have documented a surprisingly strong and consistent methane sink in arctic mineral soils, thought to be due to high‐affinity methanotrophy.

Diverse electron sources support denitrification under hypoxia in the obligate methanotroph Methylomicrobium album strain BG8

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria are a diverse group of microorganisms that are ubiquitous in natural environments. Along with anaerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria and archaea, aerobic methanotrophs are critical for attenuating emission of methane to ...
