In the deep ocean, the conversion of methane into derived carbon and energy drives the
establishment of diverse faunal communities. Yet specific biological mechanisms underlying …

Sources of atmospheric CH4 are both naturally occurring and anthropogenic. In fact, some
anthropogenic activities may influence the production of CH4 from natural sources, such as …

Among the most extreme habitats on Earth, dark, deep, anoxic brines host unique microbial
ecosystems that remain largely unexplored. As the terminal step of anaerobic degradation of …

Methane seeps are widespread seafloor ecosystems shaped by complex physicochemical-
biological interactions over geological timescales, and seep microbiomes play a vital role in …

The Lena River is one of the largest Russian rivers draining into the Laptev Sea. The
predicted increases in global temperatures are expected to cause the permafrost areas …

Freshwater reservoirs emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane (CH4) and carbon
dioxide (CO2), contributing to global warming, mainly when impacted by untreated sewage …

The potential and drivers of microbial methane removal in the water column of seasonally
stratified coastal ecosystems and the importance of the methanotrophic community …

Methane seeps are chemosynthetic ecosystems in the deep-sea environment. Microbial
community structures have been extensively studied in the seepage-affected sediments and …

Recent investigations demonstrate that some coastal wetlands are atmospheric methane
sinks, but the regulatory mechanisms are not clear. Here, the main pathway and operator of …

Methane emissions from freshwater environments contribute substantially to global warming
but are under strong control of aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria. Recently discovered …
