Methylotrophy is a metabolic capability possessed by microorganisms that allows them to
build biomass and to obtain energy from organic substrates containing no carbon–carbon …

Carbamate pesticides are widely used as insecticides, nematicides, acaricides, herbicides
and fungicides in the agriculture, food and public health sector. However, only a minor …

Reports of biogenic methane (CH4) synthesis associated with a range of organisms have
steadily accumulated in the literature. This has not happened without controversy and in …

Metformin is becoming one of the most common emerging contaminants in surface and
wastewater. Its biodegradation generally leads to the accumulation of guanylurea in the …

The SAR11 Alphaproteobacteria are the most abundant heterotrophs in the oceans and are
believed to play a major role in mineralizing marine dissolved organic carbon. Their …

The focus of this review is on the recent data from the omics approaches, measuring the
presence of methylotrophs in natural environments. Both Bacteria and Archaea are …

Three strains of methylotrophic Rhodocyclaceae (FAM1T, RZ18-153 and RZ94) isolated
from Lake Washington sediment samples were characterized. Based on phylogenetic …

Microbial activity is key in understanding the contribution of microbial communities to
ecosystem functions. Metabolic labelling with heavy water (D2O) leads to the formation of …

Phylogenetic positions, and genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of three novel
methylotrophic isolates, strains 301T, 30S and SIP3-4, from sediment of Lake Washington …

Bacteria of the genus Azospirillum colonize roots of important cereals and grasses, and
promote plant growth by several mechanisms, notably phytohormone synthesis. The …
