An aerobic methanotroph was isolated from a biofilm of coal mine Gruve 7 (Svalbard) and designated strain G7T. Cells of strain G7T were Gram-stain-negative, pink-pigmented and motile rods. Strain G7T ...

Gammaproteobacterial methanotrophic bacteria (gMOB) are crucial mitigators of methane emissions of many ecosystems, like boreal and subarctic lakes and ponds. Metagenomic data suggest that besides usi...
