Substantial high-affinity methanotroph populations in Andisols effect high rates of atmospheric methane oxidation (2009)
Journal Article
Hornibrook, E. R. C., Maxfield, P. J., & Evershed, R. P. (2009). Substantial high-affinity methanotroph populations in Andisols effect high rates of atmospheric methane oxidation. Environmental Microbiology Reports, 1(5), 450-456. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1758-2229.2009.00071.x

Methanotrophic bacteria in soils derived from volcanic ash (Andisols) were characterized via time series 13C-phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) labelling. Three Andisols were incubated under 2 ppmv 13CH 4 for up to 18 weeks, thus enabling high-affinity m...
