Selective stimulation in a natural community of methane oxidizing bacteria: Effects of copper on pmoA transcription and activity
2013-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Copper is an essential element, but often not readily available to microorganisms potentially causing copper limitation in situ. In most methane oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs), the copper-containing membrane bound methane monooxygenase (pMMO) catalyzes the first step in methane oxidation. We focused on the response of methanotrophic activity to a copper amendment in a rice paddy soil, measuring methane oxidati...
