Consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing bacteria
mediate the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments. However, even …

Cold seeps are oasis for the microbes in the deep-sea ecosystems, and various cold seeps
are located along the northern slope of the South China Sea (SCS). However, by far most …

Methane is a primary greenhouse gas which is responsible for global warming. The sulfate-
dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (S-AOM) process catalyzed by an aerobic me …

Cold seep is a unique habitat for microorganisms in deep marine sediments, and microbial
communities and biogeochemical processes are still poorly understood, especially in …

Marine cold seeps are unique chemosynthetic habitats fuelled by deeply sourced
hydrocarbon‐rich fluids discharged at the seafloor. Through oxidizing methane and other …

Since the discovery that anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) are involved in the
anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulfate reduction in marine sediments, different …

Diverse associations between methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing
bacterial groups (SRB) often co-occur in marine methane seeps; however, the …

Microbially mediated nitrogen cycling in carbon-dominated cold seep environments remains
poorly understood. So far anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME-2) and their sulfate …

In seafloor sediments, the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) consumes most of the
methane formed in anoxic layers, preventing this greenhouse gas from reaching the water …

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 …
