The Acidophilic Methanotroph Methylacidimicrobium tartarophylax 4AC Grows as Autotroph on H2 Under Microoxic Conditions

Emissions of the strong greenhouse gas methane (CH4) to the atmosphere are mitigated by methanotrophic microorganisms. Methanotrophs found in extremely acidic geothermal systems belong to the phylum Verrucomicrobia. Thermophilic verrucomicrobial methanotrophs from the genus Methylacidiphilum can gro...
