Methylotrophs, which can utilize methane and/or methanol as sole carbon and energy
sources, are key players in the carbon cycle between methane and CO2, the two most …

Biological methane (CH4) mitigation combined with biopolymer (PHA-
polyhydroxyalkaonate/PHB-polyhydroxybutyrate) production is a viable option in this fossil …

Anaerobic methane oxidation coupled to denitrification, also known as “nitrate/nitrite-
dependent anaerobic methane oxidation”(n-damo), was discovered in 2006. Since then …

The atmospheric concentration of methane (CH4), a major greenhouse gas, is mainly
controlled by the activities of methane-producing (methanogens) and methane-consuming …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) with sulfate as terminal electron acceptor has been
reported for various environments, including freshwater habitats, and also, nitrate and nitrite …

Land use change in the Amazon rainforest alters the taxonomic structure of soil microbial
communities, but whether it alters their functional gene composition is unknown. We used …

Conventional aerobic CH 4-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) are frequently detected in anoxic
environments, but their survival strategy and ecological contribution are still enigmatic. Here …

Mangrove ecosystems are important methane (CH 4) sources driven by microbial activities.
Mangrove reforestation has been practiced as a strategy to restore the ecological functions …

The build-up of methane in the hypolimnion of the eutrophic Lake Rotsee (Lucerne,
Switzerland) was monitored over a full year. Sources and sinks of methane in the water …
