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 …

Methanotrophs, cells that consume methane (CH4) as their sole source of carbon and
energy, play key roles in the global carbon cycle, including controlling anthropogenic and …

Even though large extents of boreal peatlands are still in a pristine condition, especially in
North America, extensive areas have been affected by natural or anthropogenic …

Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria are capable of utilizing methane as their sole energy
source. They are commonly found at the oxic/anoxic interfaces of environments such as …

Chemical taxonomy based upon the composition of lipids is widely applied to investigate
microbial communities and fatty acids have recently been employed to connect soil …

Global warming, as a result of an increase in the mean temperature of the planet, might lead
to catastrophic events for humanity. This temperature increase is mainly the result of an …

In the ten years since the publication of Modern Soil Microbiology, the study of soil
microbiology has significantly changed, both in the understanding of the diversity and …

Methane‐oxidizing bacteria (MOB) possess the ability to use methane for energy generation
and growth, thereby, providing a key ecosystem service that is highly relevant to the …

Peat bogs store up to a third of all terrestrial carbon on Earth, and are one of the largest
natural sources of atmospheric methane. Anaerobic degradation of submerged Sphagnum …

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