Comparative transcriptomics in three Methylophilaceae species uncover different strategies for environmental adaptation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 We carried out whole transcriptome analysis of three species of Methylophilaceae, Methylotenera mobilis, Methylotenera versatilis and Methylovorus glucosotrophus, in order to determine which metabolic pathways are actively transcribed in cultures grown ...

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.

A long-read sequencing approach to high-resolution profiling of bacterioplankton diversity in a shallow freshwater lake [PDF]
Scientific ReportsLake Balaton, a large shallow freshwater lake in Hungary, exhibits diverse bacterioplankton communities influenced by various environmental factors. This study aims to evaluate the bacterial diversity in Lake Balaton using the long-read approach to 16 S ...

Flexible genomic island conservation across freshwater and marine Methylophilaceae [PDF]
ISME JournalAbstract The evolutionary trajectory of Methylophilaceae includes habitat transitions from freshwater sediments to freshwater and marine pelagial that resulted in genome reduction (genome-streamlining) of the pelagic taxa. However, the extent of genetic similarities in the genomic structure and microdiversity of the two genome ...

Fermentation, 2023 The redox balance of inorganic sulfur in heavily polluted rivers might be disrupted, making sulfur reduction a major metabolic pathway of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), leading to a massive accumulation of S2− and blackening the water bodies.

Microbial potential to mitigate neurotoxic methylmercury accumulation in farmlands and rice [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsToxic methylmercury (CH3Hg+) is produced by microbial conversion of inorganic mercury in hypoxic environments such as rice paddy soils, and can accumulate in rice grains. Although microbial demethylation has been recognized as a crucial pathway for CH3Hg+

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 ...

Methylophilaceae and Hyphomicrobium as target taxonomic groups in monitoring the function of methanol-fed denitrification biofilters in municipal wastewater treatment plants [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2016 Molecular monitoring of bacterial communities can explain and predict the stability of bioprocesses in varying physicochemical conditions. To study methanol-fed denitrification biofilters of municipal wastewater treatment plants, bacterial communities of
