Methanotrophs are the sole biological sink of methane. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by heterotrophic bacteria have been demonstrated to be a potential modulating factor of methane consumption. Here, we identify and disentangle the impact of the volatolome of heterotrophic bacteria on the methanotroph activity and proteome, using Methylomonas as model organism.
