Methanotrophs are bacteria that can consume methane as their sole carbon and energy source to produce a wide variety of high-value products such as lipids, biopolymers, ectoine, and single cell proteins (SCPs). Collected samples from various sources were subjected to DNA extraction followed by 16S rRNA analysis to determine the identity and relative abundance of their microbial population. Several taxa of methanotrophs were detected in the samples including Type I (Methylobacter), Type X (Methylocaldum), Type II (Methylocystis, Methylosinus, and Beijerinckia), and Type III (Verrucomicrobium). This paper expounds the effects of environmental/cultivation conditions on the growth and population of different types of methanotrophs. The results could be used to systematically identify source(s) of natural consortia that can be enriched and developed to produce specific target product(s) under a given cultivation conditions/limitations.
