Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

The atmosphere has recently been recognized as a major source of energy sustaining life.
Diverse aerobic bacteria oxidize the three most abundant reduced trace gases in the …

Atmospheric methane grew very rapidly in 2014 (12.7±0.5 ppb/year), 2015 (10.1±0.7
ppb/year), 2016 (7.0±0.7 ppb/year), and 2017 (7.7±0.7 ppb/year), at rates not observed …

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 …

Methane emission by soils results from antagonistic but correlated microbial activities.
Methane is produced in the anaerobic zones of submerged soils by methanogens and is …

Soils serve as the biological sink of the potent greenhouse gas methane with exceptionally
low concentrations of∼ 1.84 ppmv in the atmosphere. The as-yet-uncultivated methane …

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 …

The global budget of atmospheric CH4, which is on the order of 500–600 Tg CH4 per year,
is mainly the result of environmental microbial processes, such as archaeal methanogenesis …

The global atmospheric level of methane (CH4), the second most important greenhouse
gas, is currently increasing by∼ 10 million tons per year. Microbial oxidation in unsaturated …

Methane is an important greenhouse gas and microbes in the environment play major roles
in both global methane emissions and terrestrial sinks. However, a full mechanistic …
