Journal ArticleDOI
Methane production and consumption in temperate and subarctic peat soils: Response to temperature and pH
TL;DR: In this paper, rates of methane (CH4) production under anaerobic conditions and CH4 consumption under aerobic conditions were studied in slurries of peat samples kept at different temperatures and pH values.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings show that methanotrophy in the Bacteria is more taxonomically, ecologically and genetically diverse than previously thought, and that previous studies have failed to assess the full diversity of meethanotrophs in acidic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental, genomic and taxonomic perspectives on methanotrophic Verrucomicrobia.

TL;DR: The isolation of thermoacidophilic methanotrophs that represented a distinct lineage within the bacterial phylum Verrucomicrobia are described, and a new genus Methylacidiphilum is proposed to encompass all three newly discovered bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of the T‐RFLP technique to assess spatial and temporal changes in the bacterial community structure within an agricultural soil planted with transgenic and non‐transgenic potato plants
TL;DR: The T-RFLP technique, although a polymerase chain reaction-based method, proved to be a suitable technique for monitoring highly diverse soil microbial communities for changes over space and/or time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and Activity of Methanotrophic Bacteria in Different Upland Soils
TL;DR: The data indicate that different MB are present and active in different soils that oxidize atmospheric methane, and a novel group of sequences distantly related to those of known type I MB (Gammaproteobacteria) was often detected.
