Comparison of communities of both methane-producing and metabolizing archaea and bacteria in sediments between the northern South China Sea and coastal Mai Po Nature Reserve revealed by PCR amplification of mcrA and pmoA genes [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Communities of methanogens, anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea and aerobic methantrophic bacteria were compared by profiling mcrA and pmoA genes encoded by methyl-coenzyme M reductase alpha subunit and particulate methane monooxygenase alpha subunit,

The particulate methane monooxygenase gene pmoA and its use as a functional gene probe for methanotrophs. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1997 The particulate methane monooxygenase gene pmoA, encoding the 27 kDa polypeptide of the membrane-bound particulate methane monooxygenase, was amplified by PCR from DNA isolated from a blanket peat bog and from enrichment cultures established, from the same environment, using methane as sole carbon and energy source.

Evaluation and update of cutoff values for methanotrophic pmoA gene sequences [PDF]
Archives of Microbiology, 2016 The functional pmoA gene is frequently used to probe the diversity and phylogeny of methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) in various environments. Here, we compared the similarities between the pmoA gene and the corresponding 16S rRNA gene sequences of 77 described species covering gamma- and alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs (type I and type II MOB ...

Isolation of a Methylocystis strain containing a novel pmoA-like gene. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2002 Abstract A type II methanotrophic bacterium (Methylocystis strain SC2) was isolated from a polluted aquifer and identified based on morphology and on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny. Primers targeting the particulate methane monooxygenase subunit A gene (pmoA) were used to obtain a PCR product from DNA extract of strain SC2.

Macroecology of methane-oxidizing bacteria: the β-diversity of pmoA genotypes in tropical and subtropical rice paddies [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2013 Studies addressing microbial biogeography have increased during the past decade, but research on microbial distribution patterns is still in its infancies, and many aspects are only poorly understood. Here, we compared the methanotroph community in paddy

Activity and composition of methanotrophic bacterial communities in planted rice soil studied by flux measurements, analyses of pmoA gene and stable isotope probing of phospholipid fatty acids. [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2008 Summary Methanotrophs in the rhizosphere of rice field ecosystems attenuate the emissions of CH 4 into the atmosphere and thus play an important role for the global cycle of this greenhouse gas.

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.
