Abstract
Recent results, showing that the ubiquitous methane-utilizing bacteria (methanotrophs) can partially oxidize and, in some cases, extensively metabolize complex organic compounds, call for a reappraisal of their role in the cycling of elements in the biosphere. Possible environmental implications and opportunities for industrial exploitation are discussed.
摘要
最近的研究结果表明，无处不在的利用甲烷的细菌（甲烷营养菌）能够部分氧化，在某些情况下还能广泛代谢复杂有机化合物，这就需要重新评估它们在生物圈元素循环中的作用。本文还讨论了其可能对环境产生的影响以及工业开发的机会。
