Soil Properties Interacting With Microbial Metagenome in Decreasing CH4 Emission From Seasonally Flooded Marshland Following Different Stages of Afforestation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Wetlands are the largest natural source of terrestrial CH4 emissions. Afforestation can enhance soil CH4 oxidation and decrease methanogenesis, yet the driving mechanisms leading to these effects remain unclear.

The rise and fall of methanotrophy following a deepwater oil-well blowout [PDF]

, 2014
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.

Water table level controls methanogenic and methanotrophic communities and methane emissions in a Sphagnum-dominated peatland

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Peatlands are important sources of the greenhouse gas methane emissions equipoised by methanogens and methanotrophs. However, knowledge about how microbial functional groups associated with methane production and oxidation respond to water table ...

Demonstration of a multi-technique approach to assess glacial microbial populations in the field [PDF]

, 2016
The ability to perform microbial detection and characterization in-field at extreme environments, rather than on returned samples, has the potential to improve the efficiency, relevance and quantity of data from field campaigns.

Faunal burrows alter the diversity, abundance, and structure of AOA, AOB, anammox and n-damo communities in coastal mangrove sediments [PDF]

, 2017
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

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

Compound Microbial Agent Improves Soil Redox Status to Reduce Methane Emissions from Paddy Fields

Rice Science
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

Aquatic plant surface as a niche for methanotrophs

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
This study investigated the potential local CH4 sink in various plant parts as a boundary environment of CH4 emission and consumption. By comparing CH4 consumption activities in cultures inoculated with parts from 39 plant species, we observed ...

A Novel Laboratory-Scale Mesocosm Setup to Study Methane Emission Mitigation by Sphagnum Mosses and Associated Methanotrophs

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Degraded peatlands are often rewetted to prevent oxidation of the peat, which reduces CO2 emission. However, the created anoxic conditions will boost methane (CH4) production and thus emission.
