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.

Active Methanotrophs and Their Response to Temperature in Marine Environments: An Experimental Study
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Aerobic methane (CH4) oxidation plays a significant role in marine CH4 consumption. Temperature changes resulting from, for example, global warming, have been suggested to be able to influence methanotrophic communities and their CH4 oxidation capacity ...

Thermophilic methane oxidation is widespread in Aotearoa-New Zealand geothermal fields [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Geothermal areas represent substantial point sources for greenhouse gas emissions such as methane. While it is known that methanotrophic microorganisms act as a biofilter, decreasing the efflux of methane in most soils to the atmosphere, the diversity ...

Identification of Novel Methane-, Ethane-, and Propane-Oxidizing Bacteria at Marine Hydrocarbon Seeps by Stable Isotope Probing [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2010 Marine hydrocarbon seeps supply oil and gas to microorganisms in sediments and overlying water. We used stable isotope probing (SIP) to identify aerobic bacteria oxidizing gaseous hydrocarbons in surface sediment from the Coal Oil Point seep field ...

Methane cycling microorganisms drive seasonal variation of methane emission in mangrove ecosystems [PDF]
Environmental MicrobiomeCoastal 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.

Impact of Concurrent aerobic-anaerobic Methanotrophy on Methane Emission from Marine Sediments in Gas Hydrate Area. [PDF]
Environ Sci TechnolMicrobial methane oxidation has a significant impact on the methane flux from marine gas hydrate areas. However, the environmental fate of methane remains poorly constrained. We quantified the relative contributions of aerobic and anaerobic methanotrophs

Draft genomes of three aerobic methanotrophs from a temperate eutrophic fishpond. [PDF]
Microbiol Resour AnnouncHere we introduce draft genomes of three methanotrophs belonging to the Methylococcaceae, a family of typically fast-growing methane oxidizers. Methylobacter sp. Wu1, Methylomicrobium sp. Wu6, and Methylobacter sp. Wu8 were cultured from the top sediment

The methanol dehydrogenase gene, mxaF, as a functional and phylogenetic marker for proteobacterial methanotrophs in natural environments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The mxaF gene, coding for the large (α) subunit of methanol dehydrogenase, is highly conserved among distantly related methylotrophic species in the Alpha-, Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria.

Methane-oxidizing bacterial community dynamics in sub-alpine forest soil [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumMicrobial activities in sub-alpine forest soil influence global cycling of the potent greenhouse gas methane. Understanding the dynamics of methane-oxidizing bacterial communities, particularly the roles of potentially active versus total microbial ...
