UNSPECIFIED (2000) Cultivation-independent techniques for studying methanotroph ecology. RESEARCH IN MICROBIOLOGY, 151 (10). pp. 807-814. ISSN 0923-2508Full text not available from this repository.
Methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) have attracted considerable attention over the past 30 years. They have the unique ability to use methane as sole carbon and energy source, they are found in a wide variety of environments and play a crucial role in the global methane cycle. Methanotrophs also show considerable potential for bioremediation processes such as degradation of ground water pollutants, and for production of bulk chemicals from cheap substrates. We review here the cultivation-independent molecular biological methods that are available for the detection and characterization of methanotrophs in the natural environment.
