We investigated methane production and oxidation and the depth distribution and
phylogenetic affiliation of a functional gene for methanogenesis, methyl coenzyme M …

Little is known about the microbial distribution patterns in subseafloor sediments. This study
examines microbial diversity and activities in sediments of the Nankai Trough, where …

The prokaryotic communities in deep subseafloor sediment collected during Ocean Drilling
Program (ODP) Leg 204 from the South Hydrate Ridge (SHR) on the Cascadia Margin were …

Methane hydrate found in marine sediments is thought to contain gigaton quantities of
methane and is considered an important potential fuel source and climate-forcing agent …

Microbial methanogenesis in the subsurface seafloor is responsible for the formation of
large and dynamic gas reservoirs like the recently discovered gas hydrate deposits. Gas …

Bacterial populations and activity were quantified at three sites on the Blake Ridge, Ocean
Drilling Program Leg 164, which formed a transect from a point where no bottom-simulating …

The microbial community of a deep (to 234 m below the sea floor) sediment gas hydrate
deposit (Cascadia Margin Ocean Drilling Program Site 889/890, Leg 146) was analysed for …

The degradation of organic carbon in subseafloor sediments on continental margins
contributes to the largest reservoir of methane on Earth. Sediments in the Andaman Sea are …

The microbial community inhabiting anaerobic sediments of Hydrate Ridge, an area
characterized by extensive methane‐venting and gas hydrate occurrence on the Cascadia …

Samples of thermogenic hydrocarbon gases, from vents and gas hydrate mounds within a
sea-floor chemosynthetic community on the Gulf of Mexico continental slope at about 540 m …
