Methanotrophic consortia for methane oxidation across low and high methane concentrations
This study investigates the methane oxidation potential of commercial and naturally enriched methanotrophic consortia across a broad range of methane concentrations (60-16,000 ppmv). Methanotrophic consortia enriched from Lake Geneva sediment and rice paddy soil were compared with a commercial consortium and selected pure methanotrophic cultures. The bacterial community composition of the consortia was characterized using PacBio full-length 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The study also evaluated the effect of biochar amendment on methane uptake by the commercial consortium. These data contribute to understanding the composition and activity of methanotrophic microbial communities and their potential application for mitigating dilute and fugitive methane emissions.
