Novel Methanotrophs of the Family Methylococcaceae from Different Geographical Regions and Habitats [PDF]
Terrestrial methane seeps and rice paddy fields are important ecosystems in the methane cycle. Methanotrophic bacteria in these ecosystems play a key role in reducing methane emission into the atmosphere.

A metagenomic insight into freshwater methane-utilizing communities and evidence for cooperation between the Methylococcaceae and the Methylophilaceae [PDF]
We investigated microbial communities active in methane oxidation in lake sediment at different oxygen tensions and their response to the addition of nitrate, via stable isotope probing combined with deep metagenomic sequencing.

Natural Selection in Synthetic Communities Highlights the Roles of Methylococcaceae and Methylophilaceae and Suggests Differential Roles for Alternative Methanol Dehydrogenases in Methane Consumption [PDF]
We describe experiments that follow species dynamics and gene expression patterns in synthetic bacterial communities including species that compete for the single carbon substrate supplied, methane, and species unable to consume methane, which could only

High Throughput Sequencing to Detect Differences in Methanotrophic Methylococcaceae and Methylocystaceae in Surface Peat, Forest Soil, and Sphagnum Moss in Cranesville Swamp Preserve, West Virginia, USA [PDF]
Northern temperate forest soils and Sphagnum-dominated peatlands are a major source and sink of methane. In these ecosystems, methane is mainly oxidized by aerobic methanotrophic bacteria, which are typically found in aerated forest soils, surface peat ...

Soil bacterial community composition in rice-turtle coculture systems with different planting years [PDF]
The rice-turtle coculture system is the most special rice-fish integrated farming system. In this study, we selected four paddy fields, including a rice monoculture paddy and three rice-turtle paddies with different planting years, to investigate the ...

Metagenomic Insight into Environmentally Challenged Methane-Fed Microbial Communities [PDF]
In this study, we aimed to investigate, through high-resolution metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, the composition and the trajectories of microbial communities originating from a natural sample, fed exclusively with methane, over 14 weeks of ...

The methane-oxidizing microbial communities of three maar lakes in tropical monsoon Asia [PDF]
Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is a group of planktonic microorganisms that use methane as their primary source of cellular energy. For tropical lakes in monsoon Asia, there is currently a knowledge gap on MOB community diversity and the factors ...

Electron acceptors modulate methane oxidation and active methanotrophic communities in anoxic urban wetland sediments [PDF]
Urban wetlands, although often overlooked, are hotspots for CH4 cycling. However, the understanding of anaerobic CH4 oxidation and microbial responses to different electron acceptors in urban wetlands remains limited. Here, we employed DNA-stable isotope

Beyond methane consumption: exploring the potential of methanotrophic bacteria to produce secondary metabolites. [PDF]
Microbial methane-consuming communities significantly impact biogeochemical processes and greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, we explored secondary metabolites produced by methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and their ecological roles.

A Novel Moderately Thermophilic Type Ib Methanotroph Isolated from an Alkaline Thermal Spring in the Ethiopian Rift Valley [PDF]
Aerobic moderately thermophilic and thermophilic methane-oxidizing bacteria make a substantial contribution in the control of global warming through biological reduction of methane emissions and have a unique capability of utilizing methane as their sole
