e0“from root samples of three emergent macrophytes, including Phragmites australis, Typha angustifolia, and Schoenoplectus triqueter (syn. Scirpus triqueter L.) from a eutrophic wetland”
e1“A type I methanotroph, Methylomonas, was the most active group in P. australis, whereas Methylocystis, a type II methanotroph, was the dominant group in S. triqueter”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Methylocystis was the dominant methanotroph group in the roots of Schoenoplectus triqueter.
- Observation Type I and type II methanotrophs existed in similar proportions in the roots of Typha angustifolia.
- Observation At the DNA level, Methylomonas was predominant in the roots of all three emergent macrophytes.
- Association Vegetation type may affect the root-associated methanotrophic community at both DNA and cDNA levels.
- Observation The structure of active methanotrophs in cDNA was not always consistent with the DNA-based structure.
- Mechanism Methylomonas and Methylocystis likely contribute to aerobic methane oxidation in the eutrophic wetland roots.
