Emission of the greenhouse gas methane from the seabed is globally controlled by marine
aerobic and anaerobic methanotrophs gaining energy via methane oxidation. However, the …

Methanogenic archaea produce methane as a metabolic product under anoxic conditions
and they play a crucial role in the global methane cycle. In this study molecular diversity of …

In recent years, the externalization of electrons as part of respiratory metabolic processes
has been discovered in many different bacteria and some archaea. Microbial extracellular …

Methane (CH 4) is an important atmospheric trace gas mostly released from wet anoxic soils
and sediments. While many studies have focused on relatively homogenous environments …

Methanogenesis, an anaerobic microbial process in sediments, was investigated in a
naturally acidic bog lake, Grosse Fuchskuhle, in northeastern Germany. The lake was …

We investigated microbial methane oxidation in the water column of two connected but
hydrodynamically contrasting basins of Lake Lugano, Switzerland. Both basins accumulate …

In stratified lakes, methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) are strongly mitigating methane fluxes
to the atmosphere by consuming methane entering the water column from the sediments …

Freshwater lakes represent a substantial natural source of methane to the atmosphere and
thus contribute to global climate change. Microbial methane oxidation is an important control …

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

Background Microbial methane oxidation, methanotrophy, plays a crucial role in mitigating
the release of the potent greenhouse gas methane from aquatic systems. While aerobic …
