Methanotrophs are ubiquitous organisms in the environment, acting as a biofilter for the potent greenhouse gas methane in many methane emitting environments, being the only guild of organisms capable of methane oxidation. ...

Aerobic methanotrophs are a specialized microbial group, catalyzing the oxidation of methane. Disturbance-induced loss of methanotroph diversity/abundance, thus results in the loss of this biological methane sink. Here, ...
