1. 1. Effects of vegetation and nutrients on methanotroph abundance and methane emissions from constructed wetlands

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

   Author : Klara Yngve; [2022]
   Keywords : Diffusive flux; Ebullition; Dissolved CH4; CH4 oxidation; Phosphorous;

   Abstract : Agriculture is the largest anthropogenic source of nitrogen and phosphorous (P) leakage to Swedish coastal seas, causing eutrophication which threatens marine ecosystems. Constructing wetlands is one way to improve nutrient retention in the modern agricultural landscape. However, constructed wetlands can emit substantial amounts of methane (CH4). READ MORE

3. 2. Environmental control of methanotrophsin lakes

   University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Marco Suarez Rodriguez; [2011]
   Keywords : methane; lakes; limmnology; bacteria; methanotrophs;

   Abstract : Aerobic methanotrophs (MOB) are a functional group of proteobacteria that use methane as their only energy and carbon source. Phylogenetically, such methanotrophs are affiliated with present alpha and gamma proteobacteria. READ MORE

4. 3. Diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in rice fields under different crop rotation regimes

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Author : Christine Källman; [2009]
   Keywords : methane; crop rotation management; pmoA; particulate methane monooxygenase; methanotroph; methanotrophic bacteria; type X;

   Abstract : Metanotrofa bakterier använder metan som kol- och energikälla och hittas framför allt i våtmarker som risfält, där produktionen av metan är hög. Metanotrofer oxiderar metan till koldioxid med hjälp av ett enzym som kallas 'perticulate methane monooxygenase', pMMO. Den aktiva delen av pMMO kodas av subenheten pmoA. READ MORE
