Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 The oxidation of atmospheric CH4 in upland soils is mostly mediated by uncultivated groups of microorganisms that have been identified solely by molecular markers, such as the sequence of the pmoA gene encoding the β-subunit of the particulate methane ...

A -based study reveals dominance of yet uncultured Type I methanotrophs in rhizospheres of an organically fertilized rice field in India [PDF]
3 Biotech, 2016 Rice fields are one of the important sources of anthropogenic methane. Methanotrophs can oxidize up to 30 % of the produced methane and thus have a pivotal environmental role in methane mitigation. India occupies the largest region under rice cultivation;

Applied Soil Ecology, 2017 Abstract Methanotrophic bacteria in soil serve as the only known biological sink of atmospheric methane, and impact net methane emission from soils. Most members of methanotrophs use particulate methane monooxygenase enzyme, encoded by the pmoA gene, to oxidize methane.

The evolution of the AMOA, PMOA and BMOA genes measured by ka/ks ratios.
Proceedings of the West Virginia Academy of Science, 2016 The copper-containing membrane-bound monooxygenase enzyme family consists of enzymes facilitating the oxidation of methane (catalyzed by particulate methane monooxygenase, pMMO) and ammonia (catalyzed by ammonia monooxygenase, AMO), in both aerobic and ...

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.

Microbiological Research, 2009 The present study for the first time investigated the diversity of methanotrophs in a biogas reactor running on cattle dung by sequence analysis of the "functional" gene, particulate methane monooxygenase A (pmoA). Community structure was determined by operational taxonomic unit (OTU) phylogenetic analyses of 396 clones belonging to pmoA library.

Spatiotemporal variations and environmental drivers of denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidizers in Eriocheir sinensis pond sediments [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyDenitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO), as a coupled carbon-nitrogen cycling process, facilitates methane oxidation while enabling inorganic nitrogen removal.

Methanotrophic activity and diversity of methanotrophs in volcanic geothermal soils at Pantelleria (Italy) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Volcanic and geothermal systems emit endogenous gases by widespread degassing from soils, including CH4, a greenhouse gas twenty-five times as potent as CO2.
