Methyl-based methanogenesis is one of three broad categories of archaeal anaerobic
methanogenesis, including both the methyl dismutation (methylotrophic) pathway and the …

Methanol has been historically considered an exogenous product that leads only to
pathological changes in the human body when consumed. However, in normal, healthy …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

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 …

Drought can affect the capacity of soils to emit and consume biogenic volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). Here we show the impact of prolonged drought followed by rewetting …

Methanotrophs play a key role in balancing the atmospheric methane concentration.
Recently, the microbial methanotrophic diversity was extended by the discovery of …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are reactive gaseous compounds with significant
impacts on air quality and the Earth's radiative balance. While natural ecosystems are …

Annually, half of all plant-derived carbon is added to soil where it is microbially respired to
CO2. However, understanding of the microbiology of this process is limited because most …

Microbial fermentation processes are expected to play an important role in reducing
dependence on fossil-based raw materials for the production of everyday chemicals. In …

Methane is an important anthropogenic greenhouse gas that is produced and consumed in
soils by microorganisms responding to micro-environmental conditions. Current estimates …
