Water Dispersal of Methanotrophic Bacteria Maintains Functional Methane Oxidation in Sphagnum Mosses

It is known that Sphagnum associated methanotrophy (SAM) changes in relation to the peatland water table (WT) level. After drought, rising WT is able to reactivate SAM. We aimed to reveal whether this reactivation is due to activation of indigenous methane (CH4) oxidizing bacteria (MOB) already pres...
