AI Technical Summary
Existing methane oxidation processes using Methylmonas bacteria face reduced efficiency under low oxygen or high methane concentrations, limiting their application in pollution sources like landfills and wastewater treatment plants, and current culture methods do not enhance strain activity effectively.
A novel Methylomonas sp. NSYSU strain, cultured in a specialized enrichment medium containing specific nutrients and vitamins, is maintained under aerobic conditions with controlled methane supply, enhancing its methane conversion efficiency and stability.
Methylomonas sp. NSYSU exhibits rapid methane conversion initially and maintains stable efficiency for several weeks, suitable for environments with high methane concentrations and sufficient oxygen, such as landfills and sewage treatment plants.
