This book offers a comprehensive overview of the microbiological
fundamentals and biotechnological applications of methanotrophs:
aerobic proteobacteria that can utilize methane as their sole
carbon and energy source. It highlights methanotrophs' pivotal role
in the global carbon cycle, in which they remove methane generated
geothermally and by methanogens. Readers will learn how
methanotrophs have been employed as biocatalysts for mitigating
methane gas and remediating halogenated hydrocarbons in soil and
underground water. Recently, methane has also attracted
considerable attention as a potential next-generation carbon
feedstock for industrial biotechnology, because of its abundance
and low price. Methanotrophs can be used as biocatalysts for the
production of fuels, chemicals and biomaterials including
methanobactin from methane under environmentally benign production
conditions. Sharing these and other cutting-edge insights, the book
offers a fascinating read for all scientists and students of
microbiology and biotechnology.
