Culturable Methanotrophic Bacteria in Tropical Dry Decidu...
Giri, Deen Dayal
Methanotrophic bacteria are ubiquitous group of microbes utilizing methane as a sole source of carbon and energy. They reside in top aerobic zone of soil and utilize atmospheric as well as endogenous methane produced from anaerobic zone in the deep soil. Methane consumption ability of soil is supposed to be directly related to the number of methanotrophic bacterial population size. Tropical dry deciduous forests of Vindhyan region, a strong me...
