Methylobacter arcticus sp. nov. isolated from a coal mine biofilm in the high Arctic Svalbard An aerobic methanotroph was isolated from a biofilm of coal mine Gruve 7 (Svalbard) and designated strain G7T. Cells of strain G7T were Gram-stain-negative, pink-pigmented and motile rods. Strain G7T ...

A new #methanotroph species has been described: #Methylobacter arcticus sp. nov., isolated from a coal mine biofilm. I'm happy to have contributed to this work!

Dissolved organic matter and sulfide enhance the CH4 consumption of a psychrophilic lake methanotroph, Methylobacter sp. S3L5C | Microbiology Spectrum Gammaproteobacterial methanotrophic bacteria (gMOB) are crucial mitigators of methane emissions of many ecosystems, like boreal and subarctic lakes and ponds. Metagenomic data suggest that besides usi...
