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 …

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 …

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 …

Methane is an abundant gas used in energy recovery systems, heating, and transport.
Methanotrophs are bacteria capable of using methane as their sole carbon source. Although …

Rice agriculture feeds about a third of the world's population. However, rice fields are also
an important source in the global budget of the greenhouse gas methane. The emission of …

Environmental deterioration, global climate change, and consequent increases in pollution-
related health problems among populations have been attributed to growing consumption of …

Methanotrophic bacteria represent a potential route to methane utilization and mitigation of
methane emissions. In the first step of their metabolic pathway, aerobic methanotrophs use …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is
primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as …

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 …

Natural gas is a mixture of low molecular weight hydrocarbon gases that can be generated
from either fossil or anthropogenic resources. Although natural gas is used as a …
