Diversity, Physiology, and Biotechnological Potential of Halo(alkali)philic Methane-Consuming Bacteria

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Methanotrophs

Part of the book series: Microbiology Monographs ((MICROMONO,volume 32))

Abstract

Nature supplies us with a large array of microbes , known as methanotrophs , as efficient factories for methane capturing and conversions. Among them, the halo(alkali)philic methanotrophs stand out as the most favorable systems for industrial explorations as new sources of salt/pH stable enzymes and as native producers of amino acids, sugars, and osmoprotectants . In recent years, the array of halo(alkali)philic methanotroph applications has been extended to fuels and chemicals, fostering thorough investigations of their physiology , genetics , genomics and systems biology . Here we summarize four decades of research on halo(alkali)philic methanotrophic bacteria , as well as provide our vision of further developments.
