Research Status and Development Direction of Methane-oxidizing Bacteria in Environmental and Industrial Application

چکیده
Methane is the second greenhouse gas which is only lower than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since methanotrophic bacteria contains the unique enzymes of methane monooxygenases (MMO), which could catalyze the oxidation of methane to produce methanol in the nature. And the methanotrophic bacteria are of great value in the industrial biotechnology. Therefore, methanotrophic bacteria have been paid much more attention by the researchers in recent years. This article aims to research the mechanism of the mechanical of methane oxidation by methanotrophic bacteria, and illuminate the problems in the application of catalyzing the oxidation. Then it points out the developing direction of methanotrophic bacteria in the future.

Pacific Northwest marine sediments contain ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in the beta subdivision of the Proteobacteria.
The diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in aquatic sediments was studied by retrieving ammonia monooxygenase and methane monooxygenase gene sequences. Methanotrophs dominated freshwater sediments, while beta-proteobacterial ammonia oxidizers dominated marine sediments. These results suggest that gamma-proteobacteria such as Nitrosococcus oceani are minor members of marine sediment ammonia-o...
متن کاملEstimation of gas emission released from a municipal solid waste landfill site through a modeling approach: A case study, Sanandaj, Iran
Sanitary landfill is the common strategy for municipal solid waste management in developing countries. Anaerobic decomposition of disposed wastes in landfill under favorable conditions will lead to the landfill gas (LFG) emissions, considering as emerging air pollutants. The emission of greenhouse gases, including methane, resulting from municipal solid waste disposal and treatment processes ar...
متن کاملEffects of nitrogen application rate and a nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide on methanotroph abundance and methane uptake in a grazed pasture soil.
Methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) in the soil are a unique group of methylotrophic bacteria that utilize methane (CH4) as their sole source of carbon and energy which limit the flux of methane to the atmosphere from soils and consume atmospheric methane. A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of nitrogen application rates and the nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide ...
متن کاملComparative analysis of methane-oxidizing archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria in anoxic marine sediments.
The oxidation of methane in anoxic marine sediments is thought to be mediated by a consortium of methane-consuming archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria. In this study, we compared results of rRNA gene (rDNA) surveys and lipid analyses of archaea and bacteria associated with methane seep sediments from several different sites on the Californian continental margin. Two distinct archaeal lineages...
متن کاملA review of approaches to direct reverse osmosis membrane recycling: a technical, economic and environmental assessment
Background and Objective: Global market growth of reverse osmosis (RO) has led to an increase in annual disposal of membrane wastes. Therefore, evaluation of membrane waste management strategies is important to reduce their adverse environmental impacts. Due to the widespread domestic RO membrane market and their economic considerations, this study aims at investigation the direct recycling met...
