Diversity and distribution of the lanthanome in aerobic methane-oxidising bacteria
This study highlights the diversity and ecological activity of Ln-binding and transport systems in MOBs, their plasmid localisation and potential mobility, and their distinct regulation under different Ln sources. The strong proteomic response to complex ore underscores the physiological flexibility of MOBs in coping with natural lanthanide forms. These findings provide a framework for ecological studies and candidate targets for biotechnological applications in methane bioconversion and sustainable lanthanide recovery from complex materials.
