Bringing methanotrophy in rivers out of the shadows [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2017 AbstractMethane oxidation produces biomass that is a potential source of particulate carbon for consumers, and is in addition to photosynthetic production. We assessed methanotrophy and photosynthetic production under differing conditions of light and methane concentration.

Microbial Ecology of Methanotrophy in Streams Along a Gradient of CH4 Availability [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Despite the recognition of streams and rivers as sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, the role of CH4 oxidation (MOX) in these ecosystems remains poorly understood to date. Here, we measured the kinetics of MOX in stream sediments of 14 sites to resolve the ecophysiology of CH4 oxidizing bacteria (MOB) communities.

Microorganisms, 2021 Water-capped tailings technology (WCTT) is a key component of the reclamation strategies in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) of northeastern Alberta, Canada. The release of microbial methane from tailings emplaced within oil sands pit lakes, and its

Methanotrophy induces nitrogen fixation during peatland development [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Significance In peatlands, the external sources of nitrogen are mainly atmospheric, but the atmospheric nitrogen deposition alone cannot explain the long-term annual nitrogen accumulation rates to these ecosystems. Because of methodological problems, methane-induced fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen gas has been previously overlooked

Mangrove Methane Biogeochemistry in the Indian Sundarbans: A Proposed Budget
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Biogeochemical cycling of CH4 was investigated at Lothian Island, one of the relatively pristine islands of Indian Sundarbans and its adjacent Saptamukhi estuary, during June 2010 to December 2012.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy conservation is exclusively attributed to the archaeal domain.

The origin, source and cycling of methane in deep crystalline rock biosphere
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The emerging interest in using stable bedrock formations for industrial purposes, e.g. nuclear waste disposal, has increased the need for understanding microbiological and geochemical processes in deep crystalline rock environments, including the carbon ...

Riverbed methanotrophy sustained by high carbon conversion efficiency [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2015 Abstract Our understanding of the role of freshwaters in the global carbon cycle is being revised, but there is still a lack of data, especially for the cycling of methane, in rivers and streams. Unravelling the role of methanotrophy is key to determining the fate of methane in rivers.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Verrucomicrobia are a group of microorganisms that have been proposed to be deeply rooted in the Tree of Life. Some are methanotrophs that oxidize the potent greenhouse gas methane and are thus important in decreasing atmospheric concentrations of the ...
