Methanotrophic bacteria have a unique ability to utilize methane as their carbon and energy sources.
Therefore, methanotrophs play a key role in suppressing methane emissions from different ecosystems and hence in alleviating the global climate change.
Despite methanotrophs having many ecological, economical and biotechnological applications, little is known about this group of bacteria in Al-Ahsa.
Therefore, the main objective of the current work was to expand our understanding of methane oxidizing bacteria in Al-Ahsa region.
The specific aim was to describe a methanotrophic strain isolated from Al-Bohyriya well, Al-Ahsa using phenotypic, genotypic (such as 16S rRNA and pmoA gene sequencing) and phylogenetic characterization.
The results indicated that the strain belongs to the genus Methylomonas that belongs to Gammaproteobacteria as revealed by the comparative sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA and pmoA genes.
There is a general agreement in the profile of the phylogenetic trees based on the sequences of 16srRNA and pmoA genes of the strain BOH1 indicating that both genes are efficient taxonomic marker in methanotrophic phylogeny.
The strain possesses the particulate but not the soluble methane monooxygenase as a key enzyme for methane metabolism.
Further investigation such as DNA: DNA hybridization is needed to assign the strain as a novel species of the genus Methyomonas and this will open the door to explore the talents of the strain for its potential role in alleviating global warming and biotechnological applications in Saudi Arabia such as bioremediation of toxic by-products released in oil industry.
In addition, the strain enhances our knowledge of methanotrophic bacteria and their adaptation to desert ecosystems.
