Abstract
Methanotrophic bacteria are entities with innate biocatalytic potential to biofilter and oxidize methane into simpler compounds concomitantly conserving energy, which can contribute to copious industrial applications. The future and efficacy of such industrial applications relies upon acquiring and/or securing robust methanotrophs with taxonomic and phenotypic diversity. Despite several dramatic advances, isolation of robust methanotrophs is still a long-way challenging task with several lacunae to be filled in sequentially. Methanotrophs with high tolerance to methane can be isolated and cultivated by mimicking natural environs, and adopting strategies like adaptive metabolic evolution. This review summarizes existent and innovative methods for methanotrophic isolation and purification, and their respective applications. A comprehensive description of new insights shedding light upon how to isolate and concomitantly augment robust methanotrophic metabolism in an orchestrated fashion follows.
