甲烷氧化菌(英语:Methanotroph)又称嗜甲烷菌,泛指可以分解甲烷,将其作为碳源与能源的细菌古菌,可能为嗜氧或厌氧菌,通常生长在湿地、沼泽、湖泊或海洋等会产生甲烷的环境,但也有些可利用大气中的甲烷。甲烷氧化菌为甲基营养菌英语Methylotroph(泛指使用甲烷、甲醇甲醛等单碳化合物为碳源的细菌)的一个子类别,有些甲基营养菌除单碳化合物外,还可使用多碳化合物为碳源,但大多数甲烷氧化菌属苛求性细菌英语Fastidious organism,仅能使用甲烷一种碳源,Methylocella silvestris英语Methylocella silvestris[1][2]Methylocapsa aurea英语Methylocapsa aurea[3]甲基孢囊菌属的数种细菌为例外[4],这些细菌属兼性甲烷氧化菌,除甲烷外尚能使用一些小分子有机物为碳源。甲烷氧化菌因可消耗甲烷而为全球暖化的研究者所关注[5][6]

有些化学自营的硝化细菌氧化作为能源,以二氧化碳为碳源,在氧化氨的过程中可能将周围环境的甲烷一起氧化,为对其代谢无显著影响的副反应,此类细菌一般不被视为甲烷氧化菌[6]

氧化过程

[编辑]
RuMP途径
丝氨酸途径

甲烷氧化菌氧化甲烷的过程,通常会先以甲烷单氧化酶英语methane monooxygenase(MMOs)将甲烷氧化成甲醇,再氧化为甲醛,然后经丝氨酸途径或RuMP途径合成有机物[7]
