Biofilters operated for the microbial oxidation of landfill methane at two sites in Northern Germany were analysed for the composition of their methanotrophic community by means of diagnostic microarray targeting the pmoA gene of methanotrophs. The gas emitted from site Francop (FR) contained the typical principal components (CH4, CO2, N-2) only, while the gas at the second site Muggenburger Stra ss e (MU) was additionally charged with non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs). Methane oxidation activity measured at 22 degrees C varied between 7 and 103 mu g CH4 (g dw)(-1) h(-1) at site FR and between 0.9 and 21 mu g CH4 (g dw)(-1) h(-1) at site MU, depending on the depth considered. The calculated size of the active methanotrophic population varied between 3 x 10(9) and 5 x 10(11) cells (g dw)(-1) for biofilter FR and 4 x 10(8) to 1 x 10(10) cells (g dw)(-1) for biofilter MU. The methanotrophic community in both biofilters as well as the methanotrophs present in the landfill gas at site FR was strongly dominated by type II organisms, presumably as a result of high methane loads, low copper concentration and low nitrogen availability. Within each biofilter, community composition differed markedly with depth, reflecting either the different conditions of diffusive oxygen supply or the properties of the two layers of materials used in the filters or both. The two biofilter communities differed significantly. Type I methanotrophs were detected in biofilter FR but not in biofilter MU. The type II community in biofilter FR was dominated by Methylocystis species, whereas the biofilter at site MU hosted a high abundance of Methylosinus species while showing less overall methanotroph diversity. It is speculated that the differing composition of the type II population at site MU is driven by the presence of NMVOCs in the landfill gas fed to the biofilter, selecting for organisms capable of co-oxidative degradation of these compounds.
