Abstract
Changes in soil microbial activity and diversity after incubation eith er with nitrogen or with a mixture of methane and air were examined. T he perturbation by methane and air were characterized in detail and le d to reduced diversity and enrichment of methanotrophs which were iden tified by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and 16S rRNA sequenc ing.
