Methane Cycling and Methanotrophic Bacteria in Base Mine Lake, a Model End-Pit Lake in the Alberta Oilsands

We studied methanotrophic bacteria over three years (2015 - 2018) in Base Mine Lake, Fort McMurray, Canada. The lake represents the first large scale demonstration of end-pit lake technology in the Alberta oilsands. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and measurement of methanotrophic rates were appli...
