TL;DR: The literature search showed inconsistency in the community response of proposed copiotrophic- and oligotrophic-associated microorganisms (phyla level) to changing environmental conditions, which suggests that tracking microorganisms at finer phylogenetic and taxonomic resolution (e.g. family level or lower) may be more effective to capture changes in community response and/or that edaphic factors exert a stronger effect incommunity response.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that type I and type II MOB generally have distinct life strategies, enabling them to predominate under different conditions and maintain functionality, and provides an outlook on MOB applications by exemplifying two approaches where their inferred life strategies could be exploited thereby, putting MOB into the context of microbial resource management.

TL;DR: Direct evidence is provided showing how heterotroph richness exerts a response in methanotroph–heterotroph interaction, resulting in increased meethanotrophic activity, which is particularly relevant in methane-driven ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of microbial interaction for ecosystem processes was exemplified by analysis of a reasonably well-understood microbial guild, namely, aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB).

TL;DR: A need for better mechanistic understanding of the effects of P on methane oxidation, and the role of traits of methanotrophic community members in regulating this process is pointed to.
