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 ...

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,

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.

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

Environmental Microbiome
Coastal 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.

Diversity and habitat preferences of cultivated and uncultivated aerobic methanotrophic bacteria evaluated based on pmoA as molecular marker

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Methane-oxidizing bacteria are characterized by their capability to grow on methane as sole source of carbon and energy. Cultivation-dependent and –independent methods have revealed that this functional guild of bacteria comprises a substantial diversity

Spatiotemporal variations and environmental drivers of denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidizers in Eriocheir sinensis pond sediments [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO), as a coupled carbon-nitrogen cycling process, facilitates methane oxidation while enabling inorganic nitrogen removal.

The particulate methane monooxygenase gene pmoA and its use as a functional gene probe for methanotrophs [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
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.

Molecular Fingerprint and Dominant Environmental Factors of Nitrite-Dependent Anaerobic Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria in Sediments from the Yellow River Estuary, China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-damo) is performed by "Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera" (M. oxyfera), which connects the carbon and nitrogen global nutrient cycles. In the present study, M.

Detection of methanotrophs with highly divergent pmoA genes from Arctic soils [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2002
Tundra soil samples from the Canadian Arctic community, Kuujjuaq, were analyzed for the presence of the soluble (sMMO) and particulate (pMMO) methane monooxygenase genes. Total genomic DNA extracted from these soils was used as template for PCR using sMMO- and pMMO-specific primers, mmoX1-mmoX2 and A189-A682, respectively.
