On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Methane-utilizing bacteria (methanotrophs) are a diverse group of gram-negative bacteria
that are related to other members of the Proteobacteria. These bacteria are classified into …

Wastewater Microbiology focuses on microbial contaminants found in wastewater, methods
of detection for these contaminants, and methods of cleansing water of microbial …

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 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-oxidizing bacteria play a central role in greenhouse gas mitigation and have
potential applications in biomanufacturing. Their primary metabolic enzyme, particulate …

Methanotrophic bacteria oxidize methane to methanol in the first step of their metabolic
pathway. Two forms of methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzymes catalyze this reaction …

Aerobic methanotrophs have long been known to play a critical role in the global carbon
cycle, being capable of converting methane to biomass and carbon dioxide. Interestingly …

Methanotrophs are a group of bacteria possessing a highly specialized metabolism
restricted to the utilization of methane and methanol and are a subset of the methylotrophs …

A new genus, Methylocella, and a new species, Methylocella palustris, are proposed for
three strains of methane-oxidizing bacteria isolated from acidic Sphagnum peat bogs. These …
