Methane is an important greenhouse gas, and its atmospheric concentration has been increasing for decades. Flooded rice fields are one of the major sources of methane emissions to the atmosphere. These emissions are the net result of methane production by methanogenic bacteria in anoxic environments and methane oxidation by methane oxidizing bacteria in oxic environments. This study describes both the activity and distribution of methane oxidizing bacteria in microcosms used as a model for flooded rice fields. Then the process was characterized and localized, and finally the distribution of these organisms on the roots and culm, the size of the rhizosphere and the changes associated with plant age were examined. 59 refs., 8 figs., 2 tabs.
