Revised Taxonomy of the Methanotrophs: Description of Methylobacter gen. nov., Emendation of Methylococcus, Validation of Methylosinus and Methylocystis Species, and a Proposal that the Family Methylococcaceae Includes Only the Group I Methanotrophs [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1993
Numerical taxonomic, DNA-DNA hybridization, and phospholipid fatty acid composition analyses were performed on an extensive range of methanotrophic strains, including reference strains and environmental isolates obtained from sites throughout eastern Australia.

The methane-oxidizing microbial communities of three maar lakes in tropical monsoon Asia [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
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 ...

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.

Electron acceptors modulate methane oxidation and active methanotrophic communities in anoxic urban wetland sediments [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
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

Communal metabolism by Methylococcaceae and Methylophilaceae is driving rapid aerobic methane oxidation in sediments of a shallow seep near Elba, Italy. [PDF]

Environmental Microbiology, 2019
Release of abiotic methane from marine seeps into the atmosphere is a major source of this potent greenhouse gas. Methanotrophic microorganisms in methane seeps use methane as carbon and energy source, thus significantly mitigating global methane ...

The phylogenetic position of the family Methylococcaceae. [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1995
The 16S ribosomal DNA-based phylogenetic positions of various members of the Methylococcaceae (group I methanotrophs) were investigated. The Methylococcaceae as a whole formed a distinct branch in the gamma subdivision of the Proteobacteria, and this branch had five distinct subbranches. On the basis of a number of phenotypic traits, phospholipid fatty

Diversity and Effect of Increasing Temperature on the Activity of Methanotrophs in Sediments of Fildes Peninsula Freshwater Lakes, King George Island, Antarctica [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Global warming has a strong impact on polar regions. Particularly, the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands have experienced a marked warming trend in the past 50 years.

Beyond methane consumption: exploring the potential of methanotrophic bacteria to produce secondary metabolites. [PDF]

ISME Commun
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.

Oxygen availability is a major factor in determining the composition of microbial communities involved in methane oxidation [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
We have previously observed that methane supplied to lake sediment microbial communities as a substrate not only causes a response by bona fide methanotrophic bacteria, but also by non-methane-oxidizing bacteria, especially by members of the family ...

Metagenomic identification of active methanogens and methanotrophs in serpentinite springs of the Voltri Massif, Italy [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
The production of hydrogen and methane by geochemical reactions associated with the serpentinization of ultramafic rocks can potentially support subsurface microbial ecosystems independent of the photosynthetic biosphere.
