The microbial community structures of gas hydrate-bearing (Core 9) and non-hydrate-
bearing (Core 1) marine sediments were investigated at Mississippi Canyon (MC) 118 in the …

A molecular phylogenetic approach was used to characterize the composition of microbial
communities from two gas hydrate sedimentary systems in the Gulf of Mexico. Nucleic acids …

Although there is significant interest in the potential interactions of microbes with gas
hydrate, no direct physical association between them has been demonstrated. We examined …

The characterization of microbial assemblages within solid gas hydrate, especially those
that may be physiologically active under in situ hydrate conditions, is essential to gain a …

In this paper, we review research conducted during the last 20 years on the active margin
that forms the Nankai Trough off the southwest coast of Japan. The Nankai Trough exists …

Microbial communities in cores obtained from methane hydrate-bearing deep marine
sediments (down to more than 300 m below the seafloor) in the forearc basin of the Nankai …

Methane hydrates represent an enormous carbon and energy source in many low
temperature deep marine sediments. However, little information is available concerning the …

This study reports the intact lipids and the phylogenetic compositions of archaea from
marine sediments adjacent to or within a region of methane seeps and hydrate mounds in …

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 …

An integrated lipid biomarker–carbon isotope approach reveals new insight to microbial
methane oxidation in the Gulf of Mexico gas-hydrate system. Hydrate-bearing and hydrate …
