Coastal waters are a major source of marine methane to the atmosphere. Particularly high
concentrations of this potent greenhouse gas are found in anoxic waters, but it remains …

Biological methanogenesis is linked to permanent water logged systems, eg, rice field soils
or lake sediments. In these systems the methanogenic community as well as the pathway of …

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

ABSTRACT In the northwestern Black Sea, methane oxidation rates reveal that above
shallow and deep gas seeps methane is removed from the water column as efficiently as it is …

Methanogenesis has recently been shown to fuel anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM)
within the sulfate-reducing zone of marine sediments, coining the term “cryptic methane …

This biogeochemical, molecular genetic and lipid biomarker study of sediments (∼ 4 m
cores) from the Skagerrak (Denmark) investigated methane cycling in a sediment with a …

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

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 …

Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) are regarded as key players in aquatic ecosystems,
which can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. Among phylogenetically …

Although abundant geochemical data indicate that anaerobic methane oxidation occurs in
marine sediments, the linkage to specific microorganisms remains unclear. In order to …
