The community structure of the methanotrophs in rice fields worldwide has been studied mainly using culture-independent methods. Very few studies have focused on culturing methanotrophs from rice fields. We developed a unique method for the cultivation of methanotrophs from rice field samples. Here, we used a modified dilute nitrate mineral salts (dNMS) medium, with two cycles of dilution till extinction series cultivation with prolonged incubation time, and used agarose in the solid medium. The cultivation approach resulted in the isolation of methanotrophs from seven genera from the three major groups: Type Ia (\n                    <jats:italic>Methylomonas<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Methylomicrobium<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Methylocucumis<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), Type Ib (\n                    <jats:italic>Methylocaldum<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Methylomagnum<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), and Type II (\n                    <jats:italic>Methylocystis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Methylosinus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). Growth was obtained till 10\n                    <jats:sup>\u20136<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u201310\n                    <jats:sup>\u20138<\/jats:sup>\n                    dilutions in the first dilution series, indicating the culturing of dominant methanotrophs. Our study was supported by 16S rRNA gene-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) of three of the rice samples. Our analyses and comparison with the global scenario suggested that the cultured members represented the major detected taxa. Strain RS1, representing a putative novel species of\n                    <jats:italic>Methylomicrobium<\/jats:italic>\n                    , was cultured; and the draft genome sequence was obtained. Genome analysis indicated that RS1 represented a new putative\n                    <jats:italic>Methylomicrobium<\/jats:italic>\n                    species.\n                    <jats:italic>Methylomicrobium<\/jats:italic>\n                    has been detected globally in rice fields as a dominant genus, although no\n                    <jats:italic>Methylomicrobium<\/jats:italic>\n                    strains have been isolated from rice fields worldwide. Ours is one of the first extensive studies on cultured methanotrophs from Indian rice fields focusing on the tropical region, and a unique method was developed. A total of 29 strains were obtained, which could be used as models for studying methane mitigation from rice fields and for environmental and biotechnological applications.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2021.669244","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,4]],"date-time":"2021-09-04T07:04:56Z","timestamp":1630739096000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Cultivation of Important Methanotrophs From Indian Rice Fields"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Monali C.","family":"Rahalkar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kumal","family":"Khatri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pranitha","family":"Pandit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahul A.","family":"Bahulikar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jyoti A.","family":"Mohite","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"400","DOI":"10.1021\/es901723c","article-title":"Remediation of chromium (VI) by a methane-oxidizing bacterium.","volume":"44","author":"Al Hasin","year":"2010","journal-title":"Environ.
