| detection of methanotroph diversity on roots of submerged rice plants by molecular retrieval of pmoa, mmox, mxaf, and 16s rrna and ribosomal dna, including pmoa-based terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism profiling. | the diversity of methanotrophic bacteria associated with roots of submerged rice plants was assessed using cultivation-independent techniques. the research focused mainly on the retrieval of pmoa, which encodes the alpha subunit of the particulate methane monooxygenase. a novel methanotroph-specific community-profiling method was established using the terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (t-rflp) technique. the t-rflp profiles clearly revealed a more complex root-associated methanot ... | 2001 | 11526021 |
| diversity and habitat preferences of cultivated and uncultivated aerobic methanotrophic bacteria evaluated based on pmoa as molecular marker. | 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 revealed that this functional guild of bacteria comprises a substantial diversity of organisms. in particular the use of cultivation-independent methods targeting a subunit of the particulate methane monooxygenase (pmoa) as functional marker for the detection of aerobic methanotrophs has resulted in thousands of sequences rep ... | 2015 | 26696968 |
| draft genomes of gammaproteobacterial methanotrophs isolated from terrestrial ecosystems. | genome sequences of methylobacter luteus, methylobacter whittenburyi, methylosarcina fibrata, methylomicrobium agile, and methylovulum miyakonense were generated. the strains represent aerobic methanotrophs typically isolated from various terrestrial ecosystems. | 2015 | 26044417 |
