Amid rising global temperatures and accelerating carbon-neutral initiatives, the efficient valorization of greenhouse gases has emerged as a central focus of contemporary research. Microbial metabolism enables the low-cost transformation of methane, which has evolved into a strategic technological reserve for a green and low-carbon future. Methanotrophs, widely distributed across diverse habitats, utilize methane as both a carbon and an energy source. Through key enzymes in their central metabol
