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 …

Microbial processes have a central role in the global fluxes of the key biogenic greenhouse
gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) and are likely to respond rapidly to …

Soil bacteria provide a large range of ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling. Despite
their important role in soil systems, compositional and functional responses of bacterial …

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 …

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 atmospheric methane (CH 4) concentrations are now approaching 1800 ppbv as a
result of the growing imbalance between the net CH 4 emissions from natural and …

Methane‐oxidizing bacteria (MOB) possess the ability to use methane for energy generation
and growth, thereby, providing a key ecosystem service that is highly relevant to the …

The controls on methane (CH4) flux into and out of soils are not well understood.
Environmental variables including temperature, precipitation, and nitrogen (N) status can …

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 …

Recent dynamics and uncertainties in global methane budgets necessitate research of
controls of sources and sinks of atmospheric methane. Production of methane by …
