• Involvement of MmoR and MmoG in the transcriptional activation of soluble methane monooxygenase genes in Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b.

  Methanotrophs oxidize methane to methanol using the enzyme methane monooxygenase. Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b has two such enzymes: a membrane-bou…

• Links between methanotroph community composition and CH(4) oxidation in a pine forest soil.

  Abstract The main gap in our knowledge about what determines the rate of CH(4) oxidation in forest soils is the biology of the microorganisms involved…
