The (d)evolution of methanotrophy in the Beijerinckiaceae—a comparative genomics analysis [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2013
Abstract The alphaproteobacterial family Beijerinckiaceae contains generalists that grow on a wide range of substrates, and specialists that grow only on methane and methanol. We investigated the evolution of this family by comparing the genomes of the generalist organotroph Beijerinckia indica, the facultative methanotroph Methylocella ...

Evaluating the contribution of methanotrophy kinetics to uncertainty in the soil methane sink

Environmental Research Letters
The oxidation of atmospheric methane by soil microbes is an important natural sink for a potent greenhouse gas. However, estimates of the current and future soil methane sink are highly uncertain. Here we assessed the extent to which methanotrophy enzyme

Archaeal Tetraether Lipids as Tracers for Past Marine Environmental Change

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Archaea are single‐celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs).

Different Ferromanganese Concretion Morphologies Host Distinct Microbial Communities and Metal Accumulation Patterns in the Baltic Sea

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated how microbes influence the metal accumulation and release in Fe‐Mn concretions from the Gulf of Finland using microcosm incubation experiments. We studied three main concretion morphotypes: crust, discoidal, and spheroidal. Microbes enhanced metal accumulation in discoidal and spheroidal morphotypes.

Methane‐limited methanotrophy in tidal freshwater swamps [PDF]

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2002
We investigated the relationship between CH4 production and oxidation in two tidal freshwater wetland forests in order to determine whether CH4 oxidation efficiency was limited by O2 or CH4. Methane oxidation was measured in situ over a 16‐month period with bi‐monthly applications of the inhibitor CH3F.

Vegetation Increases CH4 Emissions and Methanotroph Diversity in Marine Sediments

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seagrass meadows enhance carbon burial but also increase methane (CH4) emissions from marine sediments. The presence of seagrass modifies sediment properties, creating carbon‐rich environments characterized by higher carbon accumulation and CO2 fluxes, which stimulate CH4 production and lead to higher emissions.

Tree stem methane emissions are regulated by site‐level biogeochemistry over species identity in Amazon floodplain forests

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 179-190, July 2026.
Summary Tree stems in Amazonian floodplains emit substantial methane (CH4), yet controls on emission variability remain unclear. Emissions span orders of magnitude between várzea (nutrient‐rich) and igapó (nutrient‐poor) forests and among trees, suggesting controls beyond flooding.

Unraveling the depth-dependent causal dynamics of methanogenesis and methanotrophy in a high-latitude fen peatland

Environmental Research Letters
The dynamics of methane (CH _4 ) cycling in high-latitude peatlands through different pathways of methanogenesis and methanotrophy are still poorly understood due to the spatiotemporal complexity of microbial activities and biogeochemical processes ...

Microbially driven organic carbon cycling at the land−sea interface: Advances and an integrated study framework

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 282-295, June 2026.
Abstract The land−sea interface is a vital component of global biogeochemical cycles, where microorganisms drive the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. This review synthesizes the research progress from representative land−sea interfaces to elucidate how the microbial community structure and metabolic function influence the mobilization ...
