The rise and fall of methanotrophy following a deepwater oil-well blowout [PDF]
The blowout of the Macondo oil well in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010 injected up to 500,000 tonnes of natural gas, mainly methane, into the deep sea1.

A PCR assay targeting the alpha subunit of the particulate methane monooxygenase gene (pmoA). This is a general assay for methane oxidising bacteria using primers 189F–682R. Note: these primers might occasionally also amplify the amoA gene of ammonia-oxidising bacteria. 189F GGN GAC TGG GAC TTC TGG (target seq. 189 - 207) Holmes et al.

Modelling emission and transport of key components of primary marine organic aerosol using the global aerosol–climate model ECHAM6.3–HAM2.3 [PDF]
Primary marine organic aerosol (PMOA) contributes significantly to the aerosol loading over remote oceanic regions, where sea spray dominates aerosol production in the lower troposphere, and plays an important role in aerosol–cloud–climate interactions ...

Enrichment of denitrifying methane-oxidizing microorganisms using up-flow continuous reactors and batch cultures. [PDF]
Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidizing (DAMO) microorganisms were enriched from paddy field soils using continuous-flow and batch cultures fed with nitrate or nitrite as a sole electron acceptor. After several months of cultivation, the continuous-flow

Physiological modes of action across species and toxicants : the key to predictive ecotoxicology [PDF]
As ecotoxicologists we strive for a better understanding of how chemicals affect our environment. Humanity needs tools to identify those combinations of man-made chemicals and organisms most likely to cause problems. In other words: which of the millions

Compound Microbial Agent Improves Soil Redox Status to Reduce Methane Emissions from Paddy Fields
Paddy fields are considered a major source of methane (CH4) emissions. Aerobic irrigation methods have proven to be efficacious in mitigating CH4 emissions in paddy cultivation. The promising role of compound microbial agents in refining the rhizospheric

Land Cover and Hydrology Regulate Riverine Carbon Emissions From Subarctic Catchments
Abstract Streams transport carbon (C) and nutrients across the terrestrial‐aquatic interface and are significant sources of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Climate‐induced changes in vegetation and hydrology increase the export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems, but the impact of these ...

Faunal burrows alter the diversity, abundance, and structure of AOA, AOB, anammox and n-damo communities in coastal mangrove sediments [PDF]
In the present work, the diversity, community structures, and abundances of aerobic ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria, and denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidization (n-damo) bacteria were

Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b can grow on methanol in the absence but not presence of copper due: (1) overgeneration of reducing power from methanol oxidation; (2) formate accumulation leading to acidification of the growth medium and inactivation of formate dehydrogenase; and (3) lack of expression of potential oxidative stress defence genes ...
