Enrichment of methanotrophs from urban canals
Anoxic sediment cores were taken from Amsterdam in February 2022 and used for the enrichment of anaerobic methanotrophs using graphene oxide as electron acceptor. Aerobic methanotrophs were enriched from Amsterdam canal and ditch sediment sampled in October 2021. A highly complete genome of Methylocystis echinoides was retrieved using long- and short-read sequencing.
