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 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 …

Methane, as natural gas or biogas, is the least expensive source of carbon for (bio) chemical
synthesis. Scalable biological upgrading of this simple alkane to chemicals and fuels can …

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 …

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 …

Conventional water treatment technologies remove nutrients via resource intensive
processes. However, new approaches for nutrient recycling are needed to provide food to …

Methane-oxidizing bacteria represent a major biological sink for methane and are thus
Earth's natural protection against this potent greenhouse gas. Here we show that in two …

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from soil carbon and nitrogen cycles during freeze-thaw
cycles (FTCs) provide positive feedback to climate warming. Biochar is a new type of soil …

The fate of carbon sequestered in permafrost is a key concern for future global warming as
this large carbon stock is rapidly becoming a net methane source due to widespread thaw …

Biological conversion of natural gas to liquids (Bio-GTL) represents an immense economic
opportunity. In nature, aerobic methanotrophic bacteria and anaerobic archaea are able to …
