ABSTRACT The Okinawa Trough (OT) is a back-arc basin with a wide distribution of active
cold seep systems. However, our understanding of the metabolic function of microbial …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas; methane production and consumption within seafloor
sediments has generated intense interest. Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and …

The microbial community inhabiting the shallow sulfate-methane-transition-zone in coastal
sediments from Marine Lake Grevelingen (the Netherlands) was characterized, and the …

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents have been extensively explored around the globe in the past
decades, and the diversity of microbial communities and their ecological functions related to …

Abstract Archaeal anaerobic methanotrophs (“ANME”) and sulfate-reducing
Deltaproteobacteria (“SRB”) form symbiotic multicellular consortia capable of anaerobic …

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 …

This study describes the phylogenomic analysis and metabolic insights of metagenome-
assembled genomes (MAGs) retrieved from hot spring sediment samples. The metagenome …

Microorganisms are known to play fundamental roles in the biogeochemical cycling of
carbon in the coastal environments. To get to know the composition and ecological roles of …

Gulf of Mexico sediments harbor numerous hydrocarbon seeps associated with high
sedimentation rates and thermal maturation of organic matter. These ecosystems host …

Here the composition of total and active archaeal communities in a sediment core of Jiulong
River estuary at Fujian Province, Southern China was reported. Profiles of CH4 and SO2− 4 …
