Microorganisms are a source, as well as a sink for methane, a potent primary greenhouse gas (GHG). Methane emissions would have been higher if not for the aerobic methane-oxidizers (methanotrophs) consuming the produced ...

Ammonium-induced stimulatory, inhibitory, and/or neutral effects on soil methane oxidation have been attributable to the ammonium concentration and mineral forms, confounded by other edaphic properties (e.g., pH, salinity), ...

Aerobic methane oxidation is driven by both abiotic and biotic factors, which are often confounded in the soil environment. Using a laboratory-scale reciprocal inoculation experiment with two native soils (paddy and upland ...

Microorganisms interact in complex communities, affecting microbially-mediated processes in the environment. Particularly, aerobic methanotrophs showed significantly stimulated growth and activity in the presence of ...
