The previous research showed that N-deposition decreased C[H.sub.4] oxidation by 15.3% [40, 41], and the decreasing magnitude of C[H.sub.4] oxidation was much larger than that of C[O.sub.2] emission (15.3% for C[H.sub.4] and only 2.33% for C[O.sub.2]) owing to the fact that methanotroph might be more susceptible to the nitrogen deposition than other soil microbes relating to C[O.sub.2] emissions [42].
Responses of carbon dynamics to nitrogen deposition in typical freshwater wetland of Sanjiang Plain
Rates of C[H.sub.4] oxidation are known to increase in relation to forest successional status as soil physical properties and methanotroph populations change (Tate et al.

In particular, the hps promoter, which in its native state drives the expression of 3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase, was found to be useful for directing expression of heterolgous coding regions (e.g., crtZ) in the obligate methanotroph Methylomonas sp.

Polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed soluble methane monooxygenase genes in methanotrophic enrichments, and 16S rRNA analysis identified Methylocystis parvus with 98% similarity, further indicating the presence of a type II methanotroph. Dissimilatory sulfite reductase genes in sulfate-reducing enrichments prepared were also observed.
