Identifying Active Rather than Total Methanotrophs Inhabiting Surface Soil Is Essential for the Microbial Prospection of Gas Reservoirs

Identifying Active Rather than Total Methanotrophs Inhabiting Surface Soil Is Essential for the Microbial Prospection of Gas Reservoirs

Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) have long been recognized as an important bioindicator for oil and gas exploration. However, due to their physiological and ecological diversity, the distribution of MOB in different habitats varies widely, making it challenging to authentically reflect the abundance...
