Methanotrophs are prokaryotes that metabolize methane as their source of carbon and energy. They can be either bacteria or archaea and can grow aerobically or anaerobically, and require single-carbon compounds to survive.
Haemophilus is a genus of Gram-negative, pleomorphic, coccobacilli bacteria belonging to the family Pasteurellaceae. While Haemophilus bacteria are typically small coccobacilli, they are categorized as pleomorphic bacteria because of the wide range of shapes they occasionally assume. These organisms inhabit the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, mouth, vagina, and intestinal tract. The genus includes commensal organisms along with some significant pathogenic species such as H. influenzae—a cause of sepsis and bacterial meningitis in young children—and H. ducreyi, the causative agent of chancroid. All members are either aerobic or facultatively anaerobic. This genus has been found to be part of the salivary microbiome.
Actinocorallia is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria).
Methylocella silvestris is a bacterium. It is Gram-negative, aerobic, non-pigmented, non-motile, rod-shaped and methane-oxidizing facultative methanotroph. It lacks intracytoplasmic membranes common to all methane-oxidizing bacteria except Methylocella, but contain a vesicular membrane system connected to the cytoplasmic membrane. BL2(T) is the type strain.
Methylocella palustris is a species of bacterium. It is notable for oxidising methane. It is acidophilic and was first found in a peat bogs, representing a novel subtype of serine-pathway methanotrophs, for which a new genus was described. It is aerobic, Gram-negative, colourless, non-motile and its cells can be straight or curved rods. Strain KT is the type strain.
Methylocapsa acidiphila is a bacterium. It is a methane-oxidizing and dinitrogen-fixing acidophilic bacterium first isolated from Sphagnum bog. Its cells are aerobic, gram-negative, colourless, non-motile, curved coccoids that form conglomerates covered by an extracellular polysaccharide matrix. The cells use methane and methanol as sole sources of carbon and energy. B2T is the type strain.
Methylocella tundrae is a species of bacterium. It is notable for oxidising methane. Its cells are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile, dinitrogen-fixing rods. Strain T4T is the type strain.
Psychrobacter okhotskensis is a Gram-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, aerobic, facultatively psychrophilic, nonmotile bacterium of the genus Psychrobacter, which was isolated from seawater of the Monbetsu coast of the Okhotsk Sea in Hokkaido in Japan.
Methylocapsa is a genus of bacteria from the family of Beijerinckiaceae. m. gorgona has been shown to metabolize significant amounts of atmospheric methane.

Methylopila musalis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, facultatively methanotrophic, rod-shaped non-spore-forming and motile bacterium species from the genus of Methylopila which has been isolated from the banana from the tree Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum in Ecuador.
Methylopila trichosporium is an obligate aerobic and methane-oxidizing bacterium species from the genus of Methylopila.
Methyloferula stellata is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Methyloferula which has been isolated from acidic peat soil from Arkhangelsk in Russia. In contrast to most known Methanotrophs Methyloferula stellata is an aerobic acidophilic methanotroph. This makes it similar to Methylocellaspp however it is unable to grow on multicarbon substrates. It's genome was sequenced in March and April 2015.
Methylocapsa palsarum is a Gram-negative, aerobic, methanotrophic and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Methylocapsa which has been isolated from a palsa in Norway.
Effusibacillus lacus is a species of Gram positive, facultatively anaerobic, thermophilic bacterium. The cells are rod-shaped and form spores. It was first isolated from freshwater lake sediment from Lake Mizugaki, Japan. The species name is derived from lacus.
