Methane oxidation can occur in both aerobic and anaerobic environments; however, these
are completely different processes involving different groups of prokaryotes. Aerobic …

Methane (CH4) is one of the strongest greenhouse gases. Sources of CH4 are
anthropogenic and natural, former playing∼ 60% role. Major sink for CH4 are the …

Background Natural gas seeps contribute to global climate change by releasing substantial
amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane and other climate-active gases including …

Seasonally saturated wetlands are hydrologically dynamic ecosystems that provide various
ecosystem services; however, their variable hydrologic conditions may promote greenhouse …

Background Natural gas contains methane and the gaseous alkanes ethane, propane and
butane, which collectively influence atmospheric chemistry and cause global warming …

Most aerobic methanotrophic bacteria grow only on C 1 compounds (methane, methanol,
formate, formaldehyde, or methylamines). However, facultative methanotrophs are able to …

Low affinity methanotrophic bacteria consume a significant quantity of methane in wetland
soils in the vicinity of plant roots and at the oxic-anoxic interface. Estimates of the efficiency …

Methane‐oxidizing bacteria (MOB) have a large potential as a microbial sink for the
greenhouse gas methane as well as for biotechnological purposes. However, their …

Human activities have greatly increased the input of nitrate to natural and managed
ecosystems, but the fate of excess soil nitrate is still unclear. Many studies assume that …

Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from tropical freshwater ecosystems
have been understudied, particularly in terms of their interaction with limnological dynamics …
