Short summary
In the ocean, the potent greenhouse gas methane is largely produced – but also consumed – in coastal systems before reaching the atmosphere. Rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns will likely impact the community composition of aerobic methanotrophic bacteria (MOBs). Experiments with North Sea and Wadden Sea water showed that methane availability increased MOB abundance but that different MOB types could thrive under drastically changed environmental conditions.
