title: How methanotrophs respond to pH: A review of ecophysiology
abstract: Varying pH globally affects terrestrial microbial communities and biochemical cycles. Methanotrophs effectively mitigate methane fluxes in terrestrial habitats. Many methanotrophs grow optimally at neutral pH. However, recent discoveries show that methanotrophs grow in strongly acidic and alkaline environments. Here, we summarize the existing knowledge on the ecophysiology of methanotrophs under different pH conditions. The distribution pattern of diverse subgroups is described with respect to t
