Environmental Factors

Factor Value Unit
defined synthetic community design SynCom was constructed by controlling methane concentration and chromium load, enriching Methylocystis with Hyphomicrobium and Thiobacillus partners. N/A

Growth Media

unspecified methane-fed medium (SynCom enrichment)

Atmosphere MICROAEROBIC

Preparation notes: SynCom assembled by controlling methane concentration and chromium load; methane-oxidation-coupled Cr(VI) reduction operated under hypoxic (microaerobic) conditions.

Evidence

PMID:41932525

"under hypoxic conditions, Methylocystis (6.30%) was the core microorganism driving methane oxidation"
