Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, which can be converted by microorganism at the expense of oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, metal-oxides or sulfate. The bacterium ‘Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera,’ a member of the NC10 phylum, is capable of nitrite ...

Geothermal Gases Shape the Microbial Community of the Volcanic Soil of Pantelleria, Italy
Volcanic and geothermal environments are characterized by low pH, high temperatures, and gas emissions consisting of mainly CO2 and varied CH4, H2S, and H2 contents which allow the formation of chemolithoautotrophic microbial communities.

Abstract Freshwater wetlands are major sources of global methane emissions through biogenic methanogenesis, a process increasingly influenced by climate change. High latitude wetlands are subject to uniquely altered biogeochemical inputs due to disproportionate warming.

Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

Novel copper-containing membrane monooxygenases (CuMMOs) encoded by alkane-utilizing Betaproteobacteria. [PDF]
Copper-containing membrane monooxygenases (CuMMOs) are encoded by xmoCAB(D) gene clusters and catalyze the oxidation of methane, ammonia, or some short-chain alkanes and alkenes.

Biomimetic complexes of lanthanide‐dependent methanol dehydrogenases bearing a pyrroloquinoline quinone dimethyl ester ligand can oxidize alcohols to aldehydes. Spectroscopic studies on the reaction shed light on the mechanism of the reaction and may explain trends observed in the enzyme.

Hydrogen Oxidation Benefits Alphaproteobacterial Methanotrophs Under Severe Methane Limitation
We cultivated alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs under severe CH4‐limited conditions and studied their H2 oxidation characteristics as an alternative energy source. ABSTRACT Hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) are produced in the anoxic layers of wetlands and sediments. In the overlaying oxygenated surface layers, these gases become available for oxidation

Seasonal variability in microbial methanol utilisation in coastal waters of the western English Channel [PDF]
© The authors 2016. Methanol is ubiquitous in seawater and is the most abundant oxygenated volatile organic compound (OVOC) in the atmosphere, where it influences oxidising capacity and ozone formation.

The members of the OM43 clade of Betaproteobacteria are abundant coastal methylotrophs with a range of carbon-utilizing capabilities. However, their underlying transcriptional and metabolic responses to shifting conditions or different carbon substrates ...

Use of rare‐earth elements in the phyllosphere colonizer Methylobacterium extorquens PA1
Until recently, rare‐earth elements (REEs) had been thought to be biologically inactive. This view changed with the discovery of the methanol dehydrogenase XoxF that strictly relies on REEs for its activity.
