Biosensing systems for the detection and quantification of methane gas.

ABSTRACT: Climate change due to the continuous increase in the release of green-house gasses associated with anthropogenic activity has made a significant impact on the sustainability of life on our planet. Methane (CH₄) is a green-house gas whose concentrations in the atmosphere are on the rise. CH₄ measurement is important for both the environment and the safety at the industrial and household level. Methanotrophs are distinguished for their unique characteristic of using CH₄ as the sole source of carbon and energy, due to the presence of the methane monooxygenases that oxidize CH₄ under ambient temperature conditions. This has attracted interest in the use of methanotrophs in biotechnological applications as well as in the development of biosensing syst
