The biogeochemical processes, anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and
methanogenesis, control methane emission and create distinct geochemical profiles with …

Deep‐sea environments are the largest ecosystem of the global biosphere and constitute a
crucial role in global biogeochemical cycles. We integrated biogeochemical and molecular …

Microbially-mediated methane, S and Fe cycling in the sediments can largely reduce the flux
of methane from the ocean to the atmosphere. Compared to a large number of records …

Environmental heterogeneity in cold seeps is usually reflected by different faunal
aggregates. The sediment microbiome, especially the geochemical cycling-associated …

Cold seep ecosystems are developed from methane-rich fluids in organic rich continental
slopes, which are the source of various dense microbial and faunal populations. Extensive …

Assessing the impacts of methane released from hydrate-bearing environments on global
carbon cycling would require detailed insights into the distributions and capacities of …

Background Gas hydrate-bearing subseafloor sediments harbor a large number of
microorganisms. Within these sediments, organic matter and upward-migrating methane are …

Site F is the most vigorous cold seep known on the continental slope of the northern South
China Sea. Up to now, the microbial community structures in sediments of Site F based on …

We investigated the biogeochemical constituents, microbial communities and functional
genes (mcr and dsr) associated with anaerobic methane oxidation and sulfate reduction …

The sediment-water interfaces of cold seeps play important roles in nutrient transportation
between seafloor and deep-water column. Microorganisms are the key actors of …
