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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

Microbial interaction networks as climate thermometers: redefining temperature sensitivity of aerobic methanotrophy in freshwater ecosystems [PDF]
Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) serve as critical biogeochemical gatekeepers, mitigating methane (CH4) emissions from freshwaters through aerobic methanotrophy.

Linking microbes to in situ methane oxidation rates in a eutrophic freshwater lake [PDF]
IntroductionAerobic methanotrophs and non-methanotrophic methylotrophs drive methane cycling in oxic freshwater lakes. Most knowledge about biological aerobic methane oxidation (MOx) comes from ex situ rate experiments, laboratory cultures, and static ...

A sterol reductase responsible for the unusual 8(14)-unsaturation in bacterial sterol production and degradation [PDF]
Sterols are a class of lipids that play a crucial role in human health through their essential physiological roles and as a point of interaction between commensal and pathogenic bacteria.

Methane cycling microorganisms drive seasonal variation of methane emission in mangrove ecosystems [PDF]
Coastal mangroves are one of the significant hotspots of natural methane (CH4) emissions, yet the seasonal dynamics of these emissions and the underlying microbial drivers remain poorly understood.
