Atomic resolution structures of the methane-activating enzyme in anaerobic methanotrophy reveal extensive post-translational modifications - Nature Communications Biochemical research on methane oxidation in anaerobic methanotrophic archaea is hampered by the lack of cultured isolates. Here, Müller et al. present atomic-resolution snapshots of the methane-oxidi...

💠 Happy to announce our latest paper in @natcomms.nature.com about the x-ray crystallography structures of three ANME MCRs purified from microbial enrichment cultures from @cuwelte.bsky.social and Gunter Wegener🌊🏞!

New insights into how microbes regulate methane balance | Radboud University Research by microbiologists Martijn Wissink and Cornelia Welte of Radboud University, among others, is helping us understand how microorganisms regulate the methane balance .

Microbiologists Martijn Wissink and @cuwelte.bsky.social, among others, are helping us understand how microorganisms regulate the methane balance. 🦠 🫧 The scientists have demonstrated how a methane-converting enzyme (MCR) works in detail.

Contrasting Methane, Sulfide and Nitrogen‐Loading Regimes in Bioreactors Shape Microbial Communities Originating From Methane‐Rich Coastal Sediment of the Stockholm Archipelago In this study, microbial communities are enriched in brackish anoxic bioreactors with methane, sulfide, nitrate and ammonium. Novel diversity is identified and functionally analysed.
