Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) are ubiquitous and play an important role in the mitigation of global warming by reducing methane. MOB are commonly classified into Type I and Type II, belonging to Gammaproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria, respectively, and the diversity of MOB has been examined. However, limited information is currently available on favorable environments for the respective MOB. To investigate the environmental factors affecting the dominant type in the MOB community, we performed MOB enrichment using down-flow hanging sponge reactors under 38 different environmental conditions with a wide range of methane (0.01–80%) and ammonium concentrations (0.001–2,000 mg N L–1) and pH 4–7. Enrichment results revealed that pH was a crucial factor influencing the MOB type enriched. Type II was dominantly enriched at low pH (4–5), whereas Type I was dominant around neutral pH (6–7). However, there were some unusual cultivated biomass samples. Even though high methane oxidation activity was observed, very few or zero conventional MOB were detected using common FISH probes and primer sets for the 16S rRNA gene and pmoA gene amplification. Mycobacterium mostly dominated the microbial community in the biomass cultivated at very high NH4+ concentrations, strongly implying that it exhibits methane oxidation activity. Collectively, the present results revealed the presence of many unknown phylogenetic groups with the capacity for methane oxidation other than the reported MOB.

Four salts, SEALIFE (a synthetic sea salt), NaCl, Na2SO4, and NaCl+KCl, were applied to monitor the effects of salinity on “Candidatus Scalindua sp.”, a marine anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacterium. The highest ammonium consumption of 10 μmol mg protein–1 d–1 was observed at 88 mmol L–1 of Na in the presence of NaCl. The highest inorganic carbon uptake of 0.6 μmol mg protein–1 d–1 was observed at 117 mmol L–1 of Na and at 16 mmol L–1 of K in the presence of NaCl+KCl. Thus, Na and K are both important for maintaining a high growth rate of “Candidatus Scalindua sp.”

Nitrite oxidation is a key step in nitrogen removal in biological wastewater treatment plants. Recently, two phylogenetically different Nitrospira (sublineages I and II) have been recognized as the numerically dominant nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in wastewater treatment plants. However, Nitrospira sublineage II inhabiting activated sludge was not isolated and its detailed properties were unclear. In this study, we developed a new method for the isolation of Nitrospira forming micro-colonies using a cell sorter. We obtained a novel pure strain “Nitrospira japonica” from the activated sludge. Subsequently, phylogenetic and physiological analyses revealed that Nitrospira japonica belongs to sublineage II and grew in medium containing formate. This method has the potential to isolate other uncultured microorganisms forming micro-colonies.
