Microbial methane oxidation reduces the emissions of methane and other volatile hydrocarbons from landfills. Determining the importance of this process is one of the major uncertainties in ...

Researchers have uncovered how microorganisms on the ocean floor protect the atmosphere from methane. Researchers have uncovered how microorganisms on the ocean floor protect the atmosphere from ...

dioxygen acts as electron acceptor to form a metal-based reactive oxygen species, which should oxidize methane to methanol. Combination of light energy and fuel cell via metal-based catalysts is ...

A number of novel concepts to achieve high methane conversion and high selectivity to partial oxidation products will be employed. First, is the use of A+O2/AO system as an oxygen shuttle between O2 ...

One interesting alternative that was pursued and then abandoned is known as the direct low-temperature oxidation of methane to methanol. A team led by Ferdi Schüth at the Max Plank Institute of ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 60, No. 2 (2015), pp. 553-572 (20 pages) We examined methane (CH₄) oxidation pathways and associated methanotrophic communities in the water column of Lake Kivu using ...
