Novel Methanotrophs of the Family Methylococcaceae from Different Geographical Regions and Habitats [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2015 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.

Natural Selection in Synthetic Communities Highlights the Roles of Methylococcaceae and Methylophilaceae and Suggests Differential Roles for Alternative Methanol Dehydrogenases in Methane Consumption [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 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]
Microorganisms, 2015 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 ...

A metagenomic insight into freshwater methane-utilizing communities and evidence for cooperation between the Methylococcaceae and the Methylophilaceae [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 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.

Soil bacterial community composition in rice-turtle coculture systems with different planting years [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 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 ...

Methane release from sediment seeps to the atmosphere is counteracted by highly active Methylococcaceae in the water column of deep oligotrophic Lake Constance [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2016 Methane emissions from freshwater environments contribute substantially to global warming but are under strong control of aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria. Recently discovered methane seeps (pockmarks) in freshwater lake sediments have the potential to bypass this control by their strong outgassing activity.

Linking microbes to in situ methane oxidation rates in a eutrophic freshwater lake [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionAerobic 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 ...

Methylococcaceae are the dominant active aerobic methanotrophs in a Chinese tidal marsh
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018 Although coastal marshes are net carbon sinks, they are net methane sources. Aerobic methanotrophs in coastal marsh soils are important methane consumers, but their activity and populations are poorly characterized. DNA stable-isotope probing followed by sequencing was used to determine how active methanotrophic populations differed in the main ...

Metagenomic Insight into Environmentally Challenged Methane-Fed Microbial Communities [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 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 ...
