Metagenomic Approaches Unearth Methanotroph Phylogenetic and Metabolic Diversity
2019
Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Methanotrophic microorganisms utilize methane as an electron donor and a carbon source. To date, the capacity to oxidize methane is restricted to microorganisms from three bacterial and one archaeal phyla. Most of our knowledge of methanotrophic metabolism has been obtained using highly enriched or pure cultures grown in the laboratory. However, many methanotrophs currently evade cultivation, thus metagenomics provides a complementary approach for gaining insight into currently unisolated
