The atmospheric methane concentration is increasing rapidly at the rate of
around 10 ppb/year. A concerted effort is required to reduce methane emission.
Methanotrophs possess methane monooxygenase enzyme system and can consume a
major portion of the methane produced in the environment. These microbes play a
major role in the single-carbon-driven microbial food web. Microbial interaction is
an important component of microbial ecology studies, and its role in community
functioning and various biogeochemical cycles still remains unclear. A synergistic
interaction occurs between the methanotrophs and non-methane-utilizing
methylotrophs (NUM) in the natural ecosystem. The intermediates produced by
the methanotrophs can be used as a carbon source by the NUM and support its
existence. On the other hand, NUM consumes toxic intermediates like methanol and
formaldehyde of the methanotrophs and prolongs their growth. The consumption of
the intermediates (methanol, formaldehyde and formate) of the methane utilization
pathway by methylotrophs as a result of cross-feeding enhances the methane utilization
rate of that ecosystem. Co-inoculation of methanotrophs and NUM in the
natural habitat particularly paddy ecosystem can aid in the reduction of net methane
emission. This chapter highlights the role of microbial interactions, particularly
between methanotrophs and methylotrophs, that can be
