Abstract
Evaluation of kinetic parameters of methane oxidation under various conditions, on the basis of an analysis of the literature and the authors' own laboratory research, is presented. Variation in methanotrophic activity in the profile of a simulated landfill cover was observed. The greatest activity was found at a depth of 60Â cm. A low affinity (1/KM) and high potential activity (Vmax) were observed. Vmax values ranged from 0.11Â ÃÂ 10â3 to 0.86Â ÃÂ 10â3 units. The values of KM ranged from 0.6 to 2.9% of CH4 (v/v).
